Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...
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...
Manager
Here we have Josh, the head honcho over here, but prefers to be called “Le Grand Fromage” for his big love of cheese of course. When you pop round you will find Josh greeting and making sure all our guests feel at home. When he’s not at work he likes to indulge in a bit of cheese and gin as a nice treat.
Deputy Manager
Haspey is our maths graduate who joined us in 2016 and worked his way up to our management team. He previously worked as a "sandwich artist" and is a keen Stella connoisseur. If he's not working you can often find him on the other side of the bar!
Assistant Manager
Our Resident DJ and techy. Mark is one of the first members we had when we opened. He loves doing karaoke, going to the cinema and only drinks Aspalls (specifically as he says) and you won't catch him drinking anything else. With a wonderful and calm personality Mark can be found making sure you enjoy a good night out. If it's to have a wild one or just a quiet one, his carefully catered playlist will get you there and there's no denying it!
Assistant Manager
