Meet The Team
Your Jolly Coopers Crew:
We're the ones keeping the taps flowing, the plates full, and the good times rolling.
Need a classic pint or a hearty meal? We've got you covered!
Dan
Meet your personal booze guru! This guy's a walking encyclopedia of all things fermented, distilled, and delicious. Get ready for in-depth chats about your favorite tipples (and some you've never even heard of!) š
Rich
Our resident red wine guru! This connoisseur can sniff out a stellar Cabernet from a mile away. But don't be fooled, there's a raging craft beer addict hiding underneath (we think it's just a phase... š)
Jack
A veteran of the Jolly Coopers crew, Jack's taken the helm at the Ewell Tap, bringing his infectious energy and passion for unique brews. This PT (Personal Trainer or Pint Technician we are never really sure) extraordinaire is on a never-ending quest to find the freshest, most exciting craft beers. He's always got a new tap ready to surprise and delight your tastebuds. If you crave bold flavors and love discovering hidden gems, Jack's your guide to a truly adventurous pint.
Jon
Our culinary ninja! Rarely spotted outside his kitchen HQ, this master chef is always conjuring up fresh, delicious magic. New dishes appear like works of art...and then he vanishes back into the smoke and tasty smells.
Alicia
Don't let the sweet smile fool you ā this girl's got sass! She's the life of the party, bouncing around with boundless energy. Prepare for a side of affectionate cheekiness and a whole lot of 'darling'. š
Josh
This guy hustles hard, plays harder, and seriously appreciates a good pint. Finance brains, rugby brawn, and a thirst for the finer things in life (we're talking beer, of course)
Tristan
our South African import and resident scapegoat! If anything breaks, spills, or mysteriously disappears...well, you know who to look at first. But hey, he works hard and keeps the tea flowing (since he's not into the hard stuff)
Alex
Alex, our resident foodie! You'll often find him mid-bite, lost in a blissful 'happy food dance'. Don't let that fool you ā despite his love for snacks, he's an expert taste-tester when it comes to new brews. Just ask him to put the fork down first
Robson
This culinary whiz adds a dash of modern flair to the Jolly Coopers kitchen. Expect hearty pub classics, unexpected twists, and always a warm, friendly welcome. Robson's passion shines through in every dish ā and despite his perfect English, his culinary roots give his creations a global touch.
Quintin
I'm thrilled to be part of the kitchen team! I'm originally from South Africa and have a passion for creating delicious desserts and prepping vegetables, especially for Sunday roasts. I'm eager to learn and contribute... and unfortunately, I'm also a Manchester United Supporter.
Jim
Meet Jim the Fish, Kitchen Legend: Don't be fooled by the nickname ā his dedication's unmatched! As the Jolly Cooper's veteran kitchen assistant, Jim's steady hand and unwavering work ethic set the pace. His age? A closely guarded secret, whispered to be older than the pub itself ā but don't let that stop you from raising a glass in his honor!
