Wherever he is, Rumesh is always up for a good conversation and brings plenty of warmth and character to the team.

Emmanuel

If you don’t see Sakib behind the bar, pouring the perfect pint, you’ll probably find him hiking through the mountains, jousting at a medieval castle, or out enjoying time with friends. A passionate traveller, he’s visited 19 countries so far, with plenty more on the list. His ultimate goal? To see them all.

Harry

Big personality, bigger stories, and very high standards for Guinness.

Daniel

He has transformed our now lush garden, it's full of colour and fresh smells due to the beautiful plants he’s added all around the pub. He is a truly valued member of our team and one of the best gardeners to have graced the Telegraph.
