Meet Matthias, Chef

Matthias joins us all the way from Germany, previously moving from Germany to Denmark and then to Bangor of all places.
Upon arriving in North Wales he was seeking a new challenge in hospitality and after bumping into Lisa from North Wales Grub in a Bangor coffee shop, he asked for advice on where to work in the local area, Lisa very kindly recommended The Jackdaw!
Matthias has now been with us here at The Jackdaw for 9 months, taking care of the garnish section in the kitchen, preparing and finishing all of the vegetable and herbal garnishes.

When he’s not at The Jackdaw, Matthias enjoys cooking and baking at home, as well as playing guitar and exploring the stunning part of the world we are lucky to call home.

MEET THE TEAM

Meet Sam, Restaurant Supervisor

Sam heads up our front of house team and looks after most things that happen outside the kitchen. Although a relative newcomer to the team, Sam has been a long-time friend and supporter of The Jackdaw’s journey.

Having spent much of his career in London working with people recovering from eating disorders, (although a very different environment) through that work, he saw first-hand how food can be much more than something we eat.
A ritual bringing people together to connect meaningfully with each other and the experience itself — something he strives to create at The Jackdaw every day.

Outside of The Jackdaw, you’ll usually find Sam laughing loudly with the music turned up, supporting Manchester United through thick and thin, and doing his bit to prop up Wild Horse Brewing Co
