WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

I've lived all over the UK, dont really know where I am from!

WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

I am currently Brand Ambassador for Ketel One. Before this I worked at Call Me Mr Lucky.  I've also worked at The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town Allstar Lanes, Albert & Pearl, (RIP) and Edinburgh before London.  I'm also part of St Germains "Les Femmes du Bar" which is a great idea! Its a chance to hang and make friends with other ladies in the industry.

FAVORITE BARS?

Employees Only, my mates bar in her living room (!), Trailor, Hectors in Edinburgh I love too- but more of a pub.

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Treacle, Manhattan, Tommys. Can I name one for each day?

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

Don't know about bad ass?! I served Bill Bailey in the Edinburgh Festival once and he came back the following night. He must have loved my banter and our lay-backs together... He is a hero of mine.

Ever done it on a bar?

Like I'd publish that?

What's next for you?

Love it where I am and the company have a couple of projects coming up this year, which will be so exciting to be involved with.

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

Guy says "have you felt this?" tugging at his top, "its boyfriend material"... I don't think there's any good chat up lines.

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

I may have pretended to be a cat when I was younger. Guess it fits where I work now! hah

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

A Sweet Walk, an old favourite of mine. Johnnie black label, Cherry marnier, vanilla, lemon with egg white.

Wet with a twist
