Today, we raise a glass to Alice!

Let's meet Alice, our incredible server, who has been with us since day one—two amazing years of dedication, care, and a bright smile.
You might have seen her serving you her favourite pork tomahawk or behind the bar suggesting and crafting the all time classic Espresso Martini!

When she is away, she is still around us, having a drink at the bar with her colleagues or at home cuddling with her cats!

So, next time you are in, say hello and leave the rest to Alice...

Cheers Alice, we couldn’t do it without you!
