We’re absolutely CHUFFED to get a nod in the inaugural CODE Happiest Places to Work list!

We join 21 other businesses who are doing the most to keep their team happy, engaged and feeling part of something bigger. 

Making this list means so much to us and really highlights our core value of kindness. We know that true hospitality starts from within, and together we’ve built workplaces where people feel respected, cared for, and where kindness is at the heart of everything we do – both for our people and for those we welcome.

Thank you – what a joy! Shout out the other legends on the list

Shoutout to our first aiders who aced their training at yesterday 🩹🤕
From bandaging skills to CPR, they’re now ready to handle any emergency with confidence and care 🚑

As bartenders, front of house, managers and leaders in hospitality, we understand the pressures, highs and lows of our amazing industry. Late nights, early mornings, killer shifts that never seem to end, cranky guests, burns, cuts, dropped gastros, leaks, floods, late deliveries, and no shows - you name the challenge, we’ve faced it. 
 
This year, we’re taking on a new challenge (glutton’s for pain?) and running the Hyde Park Chase the Sun 5k/10k on September 18th, in aid of our friends at Kelly’s Cause. Kelly’s Cause is a charity on a mission to create a mentally healthy hospitality industry for all. Founded in honour of Kelly, a funny, warm and talented chef who sadly took her own life in 2018, Kelly’s Cause is committed to changing our industry through training, support, and keeping the conversation going around the mental health challenges in hospitality.
 
So, will you help us out? We’re aiming to raise enough to cover the cost of training 2 hospo folk as Mental Health First Aiders - an absolutely vital resource in our community. 
 
We’re proud to be running for Kelly and her legacy, thanks for your support.

🍻 🌞 Yesterday at 🌞 🍻

A bunch of our chefs and front of house peeps paid a visit to our pals at Pressure Drop yesterday. In case you’re new to them, they’re an independent brewery based on the edge of Tottenham Marshes, known for their juicy, hazy New England style beers, they produce everything from crisp lagers to rich and luxurious stouts (this all started in a garden shed 10 years ago btw)
You can often find them on our guest lines over - cheers to delicious beer and a lovely day out! 🍻

21/05/2024

Yesterday, a bunch of our team visited our pals over at . ULG’ers were guided behind the scenes to the viewing platforms to learn more about N7’s finest beers. From lovely brews like the hazy pale of Panama Creature to Chocolate Cake Fudge Stout and Chicha Sour a Maise Morada Sour. Shoutout Ben for his all his knowledge and for a wonderful afternoon.
