Our Team
Our team are the heart and soul of our operation. We know that no matter how good our food or drink is, you wont enjoy yourselves unless our team are happy and can deliver the best service possible. Training is key and as well as on the job training we ensure that we do seperate training sessions and visits to suppliers to enable them to learn more about our ingrediants and products. We have recently visited Weetwood Ales and Three Wrens Gin with different members of the team. We offer NVQs to all our employees should they want to progress their studies within the industry as well.
