OUR UNSUNG HERO IS RETIRING! ⁠
⁠
Today, we say farewell to our legendary handyman, Alan, as he wraps up over ten incredible years with us. What can we possibly say that will do him justice and reflect how much we will miss him (and his Thursday delivery of Titan bars to the office!)? ⁠
⁠
There is simply no one else quite like Alan. Sheffield born and bred, Alan has been so much more than our long-serving maintenance man. He’s been a constant across all our sites – always ready to tackle any problem, big or small, with a smile. No matter the challenge, Alan has always been just a phone call away – keeping everything running smoothly and getting along with absolutely everyone. He has been a massive asset to our businesses and will leave a big hole to fill.⁠
⁠
Thank you, Alan, for all of your hard work and the many laughs your "Alanisms" have provided us with. Wishing you the happiest retirement – put your feet up, and don’t be a stranger! See you next month for your leaving do 🎉⁠
⁠

As summer approaches, we’re looking to grow our team with enthusiastic new members for both our shop and restaurant! Whether you're after a full-time position or part-time hours, we’d love to hear from you.⁠
⁠
✨ What We Offer:⁠
✅ Generous discounts across our family of pubs, restaurants, and cafés⁠
✅ Flexible hours (*no* evening shifts!)⁠
✅ Opportunities for progression within our company⁠
✅ The chance to work at one of the Peak District’s most iconic attractions!⁠
