The Team

Claude and Benoit have worked in our business on and off for many years. We are delighted that they have returned to us with Claude as General Manager and Benoit as his assistant. These are French gents who have found a home in the UK and have adapted brilliantly to pub life. English ale has become a passion for both to add to their knowledge of wines; Claude is from Normandy and Benoit form The Loire valley so they also know a bit about food too.

Claude has worked around the world and spent some time in South Africa from where his girlfriend is a long term émigré. Benoit also met his wife here in England – its not just the jobs they came looking for!!

Pathy our Head Chef has been involved in our business for many years. Whilst he has a huge range of skills and can produce the most wonderful French dishes he is also a very keen disciple of all things English and makes the most fantastic Sunday roasts, just as your mum would have made them!
