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.

Front of house

Mitch

Manager

Meet our General Manager, Mitch. Originally from Bakewell, he has travelled South, starting off at our sister pub Nevill Crest and Gun, onto the Pheasant and now here putting down roots in the village of Milford. With extensive knowledge about real ales (trying different beers is the best way to obtain this), we can ensure you that you will have a great pint here! On his occasional days off, Mitch will either be kicking a ball around a football pitch for the local football team...Yellas! Or out and about walking his dog, Otis, be sure to say hi!

Ciara

Deputy Manager

Ciara's bubbly and friendly demeanor makes her a favourite among the regulars at the pub! She has a knack for engaging in conversations with customers, effortlessly making them feel like old friends. When she's not pouring pints behind the bar, she regularly goes to theatre performances and visits art exhibitions. Ciara also trains extensively in various dance styles, including ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary being some of her favourites!

Buzz

Deputy Manager

Paul (aka "Buzz"...no one knows why) is our oldest serving manager whose voice booms through the pubs beams when he works. One of our crucial members of staff, he is everyones best friend but if you cannot find him he is almost definitely on holiday topping up his tan and ever growing knowledge of wines. If you ever have any questions about any of our booze, he is your man.

Philip

Assistant Manager

Philip Kennedy is one of the steady hands that keeps the floor running. As assistant manager, he combines strong leadership with a calm, approachable style that earns the respect of both staff and guests alike. Dependable, diplomatic and deeply committed to the team, he plays a key role in maintaining the high standards of the pub.

Tom

Assistant Manager

Meet Tom, one of our Assistant managers, who is always on the move! Keen, approachable and endlessly reliable. He keeps the team running smoothly and the standards sky high every shift. Behind the scenes, the cellar is very much his domain - spotless, organised and looked after like his own little baby. If he's not behind the bar making sure everything's running perfectly, you'll probably find him sat on the other side of it enjoying a well-earned Guinness. And, if he's not there? He's likely soaking up the sun somewhere on holiday, watching F1 cars rip around the race track at full speed.

Jessy Lou

Assistant Manager

Meet Jess, one of our Assistant managers. Who has brought her northern spirit straight to Surrey! And the place hasn't been the same since. Always full of energy, smiles and good vibes, she's the type of person who lifts the teams morale the second she walks through the door...usually early, of course. She thrives in the restaurant atmosphere, making sure aces are in their places and every customer feels looked after as they arrive. Whether she's taking orders, checking in on tables or having a proper natter with the regulars, Jess always brings her own personal touch. Don't see her jotting down an order? Then you'll almost certainly find her at a modified car event or underneath the bonnet of her own car, busy working on her latest upgrades.

Reece

Supervisor

Despite not growing up in the local area, Reece has managed to become a local celebrity here in Godalming (nearly everyone seems to know him). He is always laughing and smiling and loves having a chat with the locals. His favourite meal on our menu is of course Cod and Chips (with skinny fries). When he’s not here you can find him down his local pub with friends, or on the other side of the bar having a pint of Peroni.

As one of our part-time team members, Lewis can be a bit of a rare sighting, but when he is in, he certainly brings the atmosphere with him.
