👋 MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE BAR! 🍻
Hi everyone! 👋
For those of you who don’t know me yet, my name is Roy Barrett, and I’m the General Manager here at The Temple Bar, Shirley, Southampton! 🍺
I’ve been here for a little over a year now, and what a year it’s been! One of the things I’ve enjoyed most is getting to know all our wonderful locals, hearing your stories, sharing a few laughs, and building friendships along the way.
A little bit about me…
🥃 Favourite drink: You can’t beat a good Jack Daniel’s and Coke!
⚽ Hobbies: I love playing football, getting out on my motorbike 🏍️, and making the most of life whenever I’m not behind the bar!
❤️ Favourite part of my job: Without a doubt, it’s the people! The conversations, the laughs, the characters, and the sense of community that makes this pub so special.
For me, running a pub is about so much more than just pulling pints. It’s about creating a place where everyone feels welcome, where strangers become friends, and where there’s always someone to have a chat with.
So, whether you’re one of our lovely regulars or someone who’s never stepped through our doors before, don’t be a stranger!
Pop in, say hello, have a drink, and let’s get to know each other. I’m always up for a good chat, a bit of banter, and hearing a new story!
After all, a great pub isn’t just about the drinks we serve, it’s about the people who walk through the door. ❤️
Cheers,
Roy 🍻
