Ally has spent most of his life living and growing up around Mold, where he first joined us at Glasfryn. He studied up in Scotland (his ancestral birthplace) at St. Andrews University, where he managed to get an honours degree in Applied Chemistry and Bagpipe as well as a decent score on the ‘Old Course’. He is a ski fanatic and spent some time as a chalet host in Austria as well as working as a snow board instructor. His other interests include scuba diving, fell running and church going.

From a background that did not involve the service side of a bar, Louise has flung herself head first into the pub industry, with success. An avid fan of Jim Beam (with ginger ale and lime, for goodness' sake) Louise specializes in shopping and talking, and is at an advanced level of expertise. She hasn't made up her mind yet if she's a good decision maker.

Kelly juggles life between bringing up her two young children, doing a spot of cleaning, and working behind the bar, so has her hands full. She is a ray of light in the pub and her enthusiasm is infectious, hence her move front-of-house, but we hope she doesn't hang up her marigolds completely.

Racey Tracey hails from tropical Coventry. She spent four years travelling round the world which is quite a long time – so presumably she walked, before landing in Horsham with a thud. She is lost without her glasses. Breaking them once during a lunch service, we taped them back together and she looked just like Jack Duckworth’s good looking niece.

Having scored the winning goal in the FA cup final for Brighton and Hove Albion, he decided to apply his magic touch to the renaissance of modern British cuisine in down town Horsham. When he is not doing this he is often seen down by duck pond drinking out of brown bag.

With a colourful past working as a florist, Adam came to us from a local hotel, but before that he was on the London cheffy circuit for a couple of years. When he's not trying to find his beloved car, which he keeps mislaying, Adam enjoys rock climbing, swimming and poker.

Like Adam, Phil has also done a ski season - indeed, he has his own apartment in Les Arcs, so we're organising a staff do to go out there at some point this year. He's just finished a course at Leith's cooking school, and is just starting to teach our Sous chef how to peel an egg.

Cockney boy Triss, as he's fondly known, has become a valuable member of the Jug kitchen team. He has an appetite for all things edible, so tends to eat as much grub as he serves, all be it to the most exacting of standards. He's also a typical music geek and enjoys nothing more than eating away listening to The Rolling Stones.
