Brakspear head office take on pub shift

Brakspear's head office team recently took over The Lion in Wendlebury near Bicester in order to give the usual staff a night off.

While the HQ team of seven, including chief executive Tom Davies, poured pints for the pub's regulars, the permanent team enjoyed an all-expenses-paid night out on Honeycomb Houses, Brakspear's group of 10 managed pubs, before returning to the pub for a nightcap.

The shift cover was a thank you from the management to the team at The Lion for their hard work over the last six months, as well as a welcome to new general manager Theo Benson.

"We all enjoyed our night back at the sharp end of our business and it was certainly a good reminder of how hard our pub-based colleagues work," says Davies. "The team at The Lion make serving food and drink look easy, but it requires real attention to detail and dedication to give every guest a great time. 

"We're delighted that Theo has joined The Lion and look forward to seeing pub go from strength to strength as he helps his brilliant team continue to strive for excellence."
