Ian

Operations Manager

Ian is a devoted family man — husband to Rachel and dad to Sophie & Charlie — and one of those people you immediately feel at ease with at the bar. A proper lover of the outdoors, he’ll happily be found walking, running, hiking or cycling whenever he can.

He’s equally at home with a good curry, a game of rugby or a well-chosen dram of American bourbon or Plymouth gin. With decades in the world of wine under his belt, Ian knows his way around a glass - and a bar - like very few can. He loves discovering new places just as much as sharing a favourite tipple with friends and community alike.

Beth

Operations Support & Training Manager

Bright, bold and full of energy, Beth (wife to Jack and mum to Maisey — plus two very important dogs) looks after our training and people. Gin, champagne and a bottomless brunch are all elevated in her world, especially when there’s laughter involved..

Recently caught up in the running hype (and living to tell the tale!), she also loves waterskiing, wakeboarding and anything that adds a little adventure to life. A huge passion for reading books and will try any genre - as long as there is a cup of tea (or something stronger at the weekend)! With her love of bright colours, bold patterns and big personalities, Beth is always ready to make every moment feel just a bit more celebratory.

Josh

Operations Support Manager

Originally from Salisbury and formerly of the Roebuck in Chiswick, Josh brought his rich pub experience with him when he joined us - and hasn’t stopped impressing since. Fiancé to Lisa and proud dad to Lillie-Lou, he’s a lover of rugby, martinis, Sipsmith gin, and some of the finer things in life (especially cheese - sometimes very literally).

Meticulously put together, endlessly welcoming and always ready with a friendly greeting, Josh is the very definition of a pub host who knows how to make everyone feel looked after.

José

Openings Manager

José is the steady, experienced hand behind opening new pubs and setting them up for success. With roots in mixology and a genuine passion for great drinks, food and hospitality, he knows what it takes to build a pub that feels welcoming, lively and properly looked after.

From bartender to General Manager and now Openings Manager, José’s journey is one of hard work, creativity and leadership. His relaxed style, excellent hosting instincts and dedication to doing things well make him a natural guide for every new venue we open.

Debbie

Recruitment Manager

Debbie’s energy and commitment are impossible to miss - whether she’s on the court competing in padel tournaments, out in the garden, or behind the bar working the hardest in the room. Wife to Nadia and parent to Lucas and Amber, she loves nothing more than good food, great company and the occasional pint of Peroni (sometimes two at a time).

Curious, adventurous and always up for trying something new, Debbie’s enthusiasm and drive bring in the best people to our business. What would we do without her?! 

James

Executive Chef

James is a family person through and through — husband to Maggie and proud dad to Theo and Ettie — and the creative force behind some truly memorable menus. A lover of good food, great company and a well-poured pint (Guinness usually leads the way), he’s the one making sure every plate that leaves the kitchen feels just right.

His favourites include Cambridge Japanese gin and Plymouth gin, and whether he’s laughing with guests or gently grinning through a busy service, James brings warmth, passion and a genuine love for food and hospitality to everything he does.

Jon

Roving Manager

Jon is the kind of person who’ll strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel like an old friend. With a genuine fondness for whiskies, beers, cocktails and an easy laugh, he brings warmth, calm confidence and a welcoming spirit to every corner of the bar.

Originally from the New Forest, he treasures a good holiday and the simple joy of relaxing with good company - a perfect fit for the heart of any pub community.

Elliot

Roving Manager

Elliot is sunshine personified - always ready with a smile, a helping hand and a genuine interest in the people around him.

Whether he’s out for long beach walks with his girlfriend and beloved dog, cheering on a great curry, or simply brightening someone’s day with a chat and a laugh, he brings heart and energy wherever he goes.

A true people person, his favourite tipple is red wine - which somehow seems exactly right.
