๐Ÿถ Dog of the Week: Reggie!
Say hello to this adorable puppy, Reggie! โค๏ธ He may already look like a big boy, but he's still got plenty of growing to do. As a Mastiff, Reggie is going to be absolutely huge when he's fully grown!
Don't let his size fool you though, Reggie is incredibly friendly and would love to say hello to everyone he meets. His favourite hobbies include chewing on sticks, making new friends, and eating absolutely everything he can get his paws on ๐Ÿ˜‹.
We think he's pretty perfect already!

Meet the Team
Say hello to our up-and-coming Head Chef, Anthony.
Anthony's favourite dish to prepare is a traditional Sunday roast beef dinner. He is always looking for new ways to make the perfect roast and takes great pride in serving one of the best roast dinners in Chessington.
When he's not in the kitchen, Anthony loves spending quality time with his family and creating special memories with his two boys.
Outside of family life, you'll often find him out on his motorbike exploring new roads or planning his next tattoo.

๐ŸŒŸ Meet the Team: Joel ๐ŸŒŸ
Today we're introducing Joel, one of the newer members of Team Shy!
Joel has been a fantastic addition to the team. He's always eager to learn and is passionate about making sure every guest has the best possible experience with us.
When it comes to food, Joel's favourite menu choice isn't a main course, it's a starter! As a big cheese lover, he can't resist either our Camembert Fritters or our Whole Honey Baked Camembert ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿง€
Outside of work, Joel is a keen music fan and spends his spare time DJing, as well as getting out to as many gigs and festivals as possible ๐ŸŽถ
Be sure to say hello when you see him!
