After 13 years behind the bar at Fountain, we’re saying goodbye to a true Fountain favourite as Joe begins his retirement ❤️🥂
Joe was there through an important chapter in Fountain’s story, from the days of the Fountain Tavern to the evolution into Fountain Lane in 2019, when Clover Group became part of the venue’s journey. Over the years, he became far more than just a bartender. For so many of our regulars, Joe was a familiar face, a friendly chat, and an ear to listen when it was needed.
He was a foundation of Fountain Lane and played a huge part in shaping the bar, its character, and the Fountain brand we know today. In 2023, Joe’s dedication to the industry was recognised when he was named Bar Person of the Year at the LCN Awards 🏆
Joe, thank you for 13 years of hard work, countless memories, and for being such an important part of Fountain’s journey. We hope to carry a little of your legacy with us as Fountain continues to grow ❤️
In Joe’s own words:
“It was a pleasure working for the Fountain Tavern and Fountain Lane, I will miss you all 😢❤️”
From everyone at Fountain Lane, we wish you a very happy retirement, Joe. You’ve certainly earned it 🥂❤️
