About Us

Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...

History

Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.

If you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...

Alisa

Manager

Alisa joined us in April as a Deputy Manager and in September she was promoted to Acting Manager. She's been working in hospitality for more than 7 years, starting as a waitress and working her way up to becoming a manager. She is very passionate about wine, she has been awarded with WSET Level 2 so don't hesitate to test her knowledge when you next see her in the Pub. When she's not looking after our lovely guests, in her free time she most enjoys travelling and experiencing different cuisines, running, and spending time with her family.

Stefan

Deputy Manager

Stefan is our Deputy Manager and has been working for the pub since summer 2021.

Since he has been working in hospitality he has been growing his passion for beer and he is in charge of all things beer related at the pub. So, if you want to give us any suggestions please do have a chat with him and in case you can't find him, he will be in our beer cellar.

Immie

Assistant Manager

Immie started working at the Parrot in the summer of 2020 as a Waitress, she was promoted to Supervisor and has now been recently promoted to Assistant Manager. Immie is studying English at Loughborough University and so loves a good book especially when sitting in the sun on holiday. When she is not working you will probably find her back in the Parrot enjoying a pint with friends.

Lucia

Bar/Waiting

Lucia has been with us since September 2021. She is an extremely valued member of our team and she knows everything there is to know about the Parrot! She's always up for a chat and can often be found in the pub drinking a pint of Cornish orchid cider!

Izzy

Bar/Waiting

Izzy has been with us at the Parrot since the summer of 2021. She graduated from Oxford Brookes in 2022 and after being awarded her degree joined our team full-time. Izzy has spent a lot of time travelling spending four months in Asia and Australia, and loves sharing her experiences with people. She is now one of our supervisors and knows all things Parrot related, so please don't hesitate to ask her about anything.

Gracie

Bar/Waiting

Grace joined the Parrot team in 2020 and has been working alongside her studies at Cardiff University where she studied Politics and International Relations. Grace spent last summer in Thailand working with children, but luckily for us she has decided to re-join our team this year. She is a friendly face around the pub, and will always greet you with a smile.

Kitchen

Naresh

Senior Sous Chef

Naresh has been working for the Parrot since we opened as a Brunning and Price pub in 2018. He is a highly valuable member of our team and works hard to bring you all the fabulous dishes we have on our menu. When he is not working he spends time with his family and in the evening loves to settle down with a glass of red.

Nic

Head Chef

Nic joined the crew at the Parrot in 2021 and from the start he impressed us with his impeccable skills and vast culinary knowledge. He's very passionate about cars, food, good wine and loves sunny holidays. When he's not cooking all those amazing dishes he adores spending time with his little one, Oscar.

Vlad

Sous Chef

Vlad has been working at the Parrot since the summer 2020 and has been working his way up through the kitchen to his current rank of Sous Chef. You’ll also maybe find him having a Peroni out front after work, making all our front of house crew laugh!
