Bartenders

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Home is where the heart is, so a little place in South Wales called Ogmore Vale.

WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

I was at Sahara Bar, Reading. and now work for Global Brands.

FAVORITE BARS?

The kind of bar where the bartender can smile, spin a yarn and make a banging drink at the same time! Personality goes a long way!

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Probably either a Malt Masters Fix (a RobRoy twist with Monkey Shoulder, Laphroiag and balsamic vinegar), a Mint Julep or an El Momento Perfecto! Depends how cheeky I'm feeling!

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

Leading an entire floor of customers downstairs after the upstairs bar had closed, by conga line with four jugs of terrible cocktail as a bribe! Come on guys, get your dance on! That night ended messy.........

Ever done it on a bar?

That's a secret for me and the Husband....!

What's next for you?

Hopefully I'll keep on competing, and it would be nice to see us have our own bar at some point! That’s the dream!

Best/worst chat up lines you've heard at a bar?

The worst is probably anything that I've heard slurred over someone at any bar after midnight. You know, when its not even words anymore, just a few crude grunts and some 'sexy' hip slinging! Though they're the funniest to watch, for sure!

Tell us a secret or something we don't know?

I'm a fiend for a shandy with passion fruit syrup! It’s like summer in a glass..........oops!

If you were to make a barchick cocktail, what would you put in it?

I'd probably get you down to the bar first, to see what you fancy :) find out your mood and go from there!

How do you like your Martini?

...with whisky!

What did you want to be as a kid?

A cartoonist!
