Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...
Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.
If you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...
Manager
Peter is from beautiful Budapest, and moved here in 2007 with his wife and two sons. Peter has been with Brunning and Price for over 13 years and has run his fair share of pubs. He is a bit of a petrol head and is addicted to collecting cars, mainly his black 1982 Porsche 911. He cannot understand how the English drink tea with milk, and is best avoided in the mornings until he has had his morning coffee.
Deputy Manager
Elliot is a self confessed hospitality nerd with years of experience in the industry. He has been with Arrow Mill for three years and has consistently shown his dedication and expertise in his role as Deputy Manager. Outside of work, Elliot is a loving husband to his wife Lucie and proud father to his young son Harrison, he loves playing golf (badly!) and when not working in a pub he can be found drinking in one.
Deputy Manager
Ben is Peter's son and has been with the company for a while now. He started six years ago at the Greyhound collecting glasses before working his way up to becoming a supervisor at Arrow Mill. He enjoyed hospitality so much he decided to study Hospitality and Business management at UCB. Ben is a bit of a petrol head and has a keen interest in cars and gadgets. When he is not cruising around in his car Ben loves to play video games past his bed time.
Deputy Manager
Sarah was born into the industry starting early at 16 in her local pub and Pentillie Castle in Cornwall.
She has a real love for animals especially her horse Maverick and Working Springer Spaniels which she loves to take with her shooting through the season whenever she gets chance.
Her time outside the Arrow Mill is focused around family and keeping up with her boisterous 2 year old Benji!
Sales and Events Manager
Sian has had a lot of experience in hospitality and really knows how to bring energy to the place. Bubbly and full of life Sian is never without her contagious smile. She's a big foodie and loves to eat nearly as much as she loves a good G&T. She's currently making her way through our gin list in her spare time to enhance her knowledge.
Assistant Manager
Scott has been with the company for a while now and has recently settled here at the Arrow Mill. He started in the industry 32-years-ago as a glass collector at a nightclub. Before joining B&P, Scott worked in multiple pubs and bars all over the country, this lead to opportunities such as going to the United States to take part in a cocktail competition and even making cocktails with Danny DeVito. When Scott isn't working he enjoys spending time with his children and fiancé, watching films and drinking wine.

Head Chef
Our Head Chef Gareth hails from South Africa, but luckily for us he has now settled at the Arrow Mill. Gareth began his journey with Brunning and Price over 10 years ago. He loves to travel with his partner and learn about different cultures as well as trying the food to pick up new menu ideas. He comes from a Michelin starred restaurant background, so he knows his beans. Gareth is kept busy when he is not working by his two children and enjoys the occasional round of tennis.
