About Us

Sam

Manager

Sam joins us at the Red Fox after a lovely few years at the Architect in Chester and before that another of our beautiful pubs; the Nelson Inn, Harrogate. She’s moved back over to the ‘mainland’ from the Isle of Wight, although her husband Shaun still spends part of the summer driving boats around the island - what a lovely way to spend the season!

Sam and Shaun enjoy countryside walks with their 9-year-old dog, Bear (who is a very gorgeous Bouvier des Flanders), discovering good food and continuing her ever-growing love of wine. She's always keen to learn something new and is forever on the lookout for exciting bottles to add to the wine list.

James

Senior Deputy Manager

James comes to us with 15 years of experience and he is never happier than when he's lovingly tending his cask lineup. On his days off you can find him, or not find him, striking out into the wilderness with Bella his gorgeous yellow Labrador, or propping up a bar with a nice pint of cider.

Rebecca

Senior Deputy Manager

Local lass Becky has been with us since the beginning. She came to us after a whirlwind few months travelling the world and decided it was time to settle down. Young and ambitious, she is partial to a gin or two which stands her in good stead for a bright B&P future. When not in work, you will find her in an exotic country or curled up on the sofa with her two cats.

Francesca

Deputy Manager

Francesca has worked in the industry for 9 years. Starting as bar crew, she has since worked her way up to Deputy Manager. Studying Events Management at University has given her a passion for creating and running exciting events and we have no doubt she will be flexing her creative muscles here at the Red Fox. When not at work, expect to find her out enjoying new restaurants and food (and wines!) or curled up on the sofa ready to binge watch a good BBC drama. Both sound pretty good to us.

Jennifer

Deputy Manager

Jen joined us at the Red Fox after five years at Harkers, AKA beer capital of Brunning and Price. She is working on gaps in her knowledge at present, so is working her way through our 110 strong gin collection. She is an enthusiastic home baker, and we always look forward to her coming in after days off with leftover cakes.

Ben

Deputy Manager

Ben is another new addition to our management team and can be found in Outfoxed, our outdoor bar and pizza kitchen. When he is not behind the bar he can be found on the correct side of it sampling anything stout or sour, just not mixed together!

Caroline

Assistant Manager

As well as being one of our brilliant Assistant Managers Caz is our Wellbeing Ambassador. She likes to make sure everyone around her is happy and it's amazing how often the road to happiness is filled with vast quantities of Prosecco.

Daniella

Assistant Manager

Dannie was born and raised in Reading but decided to make her new home up on the Wirral. Although she is the newest addition to our management team she is highly experienced and a whizz on the floor. When not working she loves to be cuddled up with a good book and her new puppy Bella.

Daniel

Assistant Manager

Our newest addition to the team; Dann has come to us from The Ring O' Bells in West Kirby. When he’s not in work he can be found drinking Guinness and kayaking (probably not always at the same time) with James the Deputy Manager

Abbie

Trainee Assistant Manager

Abbie has worked in hospitality for years and knows the industry inside out. Always smiling and constantly on the go, she loves meeting new people and making everyone feel welcome. She’s especially fond of the dogs that visit us — each one gets a warm greeting… along with their owners, of course.

When she’s off the clock, you’ll likely find her enjoying a glass of Sauvignon Blanc paired with her favourite dish from our nibbles menu: the garlic and chilli prawns.

Elisha

Supervisor

Ever-smiling Elisha is one of our longest serving members of the team, having been with us since just after we opened, so what she doesn't know about the Red Fox or our customers just isn't worth knowing. She's infamous for her partying stamina and love of a night out... except now she's growing up she has to book the week after off to recover. Her taste in wine is much improving as she gets older too and is fond of a Sancerre... if her boyfriend is paying that is!

Sarah

Supervisor

Sarah is our wonderful social media genius. When she isn't zooming around the pub taking photos, she is usually out in Liverpool enjoying the nightlife or at a music festival. You may also have spotted her and her beloved dog Jasper walking around Heswall.

Kim

Bar/Waiting

Kim has been with us for just over 4 years (we think she just likes to keep an eye on her daughter Becky who is one of our Senior Deputy Managers). When not looking after our lovely customers she can be found in the garden or at Prenton Park watching her beloved Tranmere Rovers.

Angela

Bar/Waiting

Ange has been a part of the Red Fox team right since the beginning. She pops in a couple of times a week to brighten up our day and regale us with stories of her beautiful grandson Jude. This place wouldn't be the same without her.

Stuart

Head Chef

We're delighted to have Stu here as Head Chef, having lured him away from our sister pub, the Grosvenor Arms, nr Chester.

It's fair to say he instantly made an impression, not just for his cooking but for his taste in music. We quickly found that he was a lover of metal and punk which certainly adds an energy to the kitchen (on the occasions he actually manages to get hold of the radio). He does like a bit of fantasy does Stu: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and believing that Scotland will win when he makes the odd trip to Murrayfield to watch them play rugby.

Ben

Junior Sous Chef

Ben first started as a "glassy" before working his way up to Deputy Manager. As if that wasn't enough he's now trying his hand in the kitchen! It's fair to say he is a Red Fox success story! Ben is usually found at the gym when he's not in work - or tinkering about with his other pride and joy, his car. His favourite dish is the chicken burger, and somehow always manages to wangle one out of the kitchen for his staff food!

Mark

Senior Chef de Partie

"Cammers", or "Mr Heswall" is something of a legend in these parts. He's always got a smile on his face, even under a mountain of checks and is chief morale officer in the kitchen.

Matthew

Kitchen Porter

Matt's our KP extraordinaire! When he's not flying around after the chefs in work, he's likely found fixing up his classic mustang or perfecting his craft as an up-and-coming woodworker - and all this while studying applied arts!!

Sarah

Gardener/Maintenance Person

All our indoor plants and trees are lovingly tended to by Sarah and they keep her busy because there are a lot of them! She's also a bit of a whizz at gel nails and enjoys a tipple or two in her spare time.
