    Guest shift

    Guest bartender nights, once a month. A bartender we admire takes over the bar for one evening with a short list of their own.

Private hire

The whole bar, the lounge at the back or a stretch of the counter, for a birthday, a launch or a dinner that wants somewhere to go afterwards.
