When we walked into The Alford just over four weeks ago to meet our new team, we were definitely nervous. But when one of the first questions was, βWill there still be a staff summer party?ββ¦ we knew straight away that The Alford team were just like our other two pubs! π
Three pubs, three fantastic teams, one family! To see our new team mingling, laughing and dancing alongside our other two teams really reaffirmed just how lucky we are β and how grateful we are that David and Becky trusted us with their fantastic team and the legacy theyβve built. β€οΈ
π»π·π Drinks, pizza & bingo β and things got competitiveβ¦ although are we really surprised when a lasagne dish was one of the bingo prizes?! π Someone is currently holding Teddyβs prize hostageβ¦ π± Head in at lunchtime and cross examine Kateβ¦ π (Oops, did we say that out loud?! π)
Then it was onto the dance floor, where we danced the night away to 80s & 90s bangers! πΊπΌππΌ
π Best dressed goes to Amy from The Old Queens Head! π (Last photo, so keep scrolling!) You absolutely understood the assignment. ππ
A giggle from start to finish and the perfect way to round off a brilliant summer. β€οΈ
And for us, it was extra special β because weβve only been part of The Alford pub family for a month! π₯Ήπ One month of getting to know an amazing team, learning the ropes, settling in and feeling so incredibly welcomed.
So, a huge thank you to our dream team. We know everyone says their team is a dream teamβ¦ but the hard work, graft, dedication and most importantly, the love you all have for each other really does make ours pretty special. π₯Ήβ€οΈ
Hereβs to the cosy season ahead, plenty more laughs, and many more nights like this! π»
Love,
Jack & Millie x
