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
Dale is a Yorkshire lad at heart but moved down to the Midlands to start his career in pubs, and hasn't looked back! He is an avid Middlesbrough supporter and when they aren't playing, Dale enjoys skiing and Geocaching (ask him if you're unsure of what this is, we were!). If you want to impress him, he has a keen liking for French and Italian wines.
Assistant Manager
Meet Lloyd, on his days off you will find him playing badminton and tennis. He is partial to a cider but enjoys a good Tarquins blackberry with a ginger ale. Pop down and meet him and I’m sure he will share some of his favourite dad jokes
Head Chef
Jack is our very own "Jack in the Box". As soon as the sun rises he springs into life, literally. He is a fun loving, hardworking, crazy (in a good way), adventurous chap who loves nothing more than to keep everyone entertained. Jack hasn't given up on his main dream, which is to perform on stage in the West End. In his spare time he loves a good gym session, and secretly enjoys baking fairy cakes, which by the way, taste fabulous!
Senior Chef de Partie
Snapped up before she had even left college, Lauren became our youngest chef and little sister to the whole Shipley team. Joining our team part time as an apprentice, she has quickly worked her way up, conquering each section as she goes. 2022 is the year that she is going to take on the mains pass. A BIG music lover, Lauren (or Lozza to us!) spends most of her shifts fighting over the aux cable so she doesn't have to listen to that other rubbish - her words Chef, honest!
