“Our venue relies on the guests’ experience so a huge part of it is the staff and making sure they are happy, it’s the most important thing and everything else is there to support that. Staff are by far number one.” – Naomi Palmer
“There’s no point having all these awesome bottles if we can’t share them with the people that want to try them. Half serves is such an easy way to let people compare, try something a little more pricey, or simply try something really punchy without feeling it too much the next morning.” – Bryce McDonough, Burrow Bar
