We’ve heard from whistleblowers in the past (with direct links to the powers that be) that we aren’t in the running for certain awards & competitions because of my language on here.
99% of the time I’m like “f**k it, who cares - what are you telling me this?” but I do have the odd wobble when I’m 6 pints deep in spoons wondering whether I do the team an injustice with it.
Not sure. Maybe. Probably.
But beneath the excessive ranting and poor vocabulary (my gran often tells me how disappointed my grandad would be in me if he was alive today, that’s always nice to hear) are two guys who have filtered my nonsense over the past decade and championed quite honestly, unbeatable teams on their day.
Restaurants are about “feels” and although you can never quite put your finger on it, there’s something electric about home at the moment.
And it’s been wholly instilled by two guys who I’ve watched grow from two reprobates to great leaders, great friends and now great dads. There aren’t many restaurants where two people stick with you for over 10 years.
There aren’t enough characters to list all the phenomenal people who have been part of their great teams over the years. But you know who you all are.
There’s some awards I don’t give a flying f**k about but they deserve this. Vote for Alex and his team for Front of House team of the year. Link in bio ❤️
