Hi All,
I’m Luis, the new General Manager at The Drumming Snipe and the newest addition to the team!
I’ve been working in hospitality for 21 years, following an earlier career in the police force. I’ve had a pretty crazy journey through fine dining and high-street restaurants, before discovering my real passion for gastro pubs.
I love hospitality, but most of all, I love interacting with people, meeting new faces, and creating great experiences for our guests.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve already had the pleasure of meeting so many of our locals and regulars, and I have to say, it’s such a beautiful community to be part of. ❤️
If you haven’t popped in to see us for a while, why not stop by and say hi? Whether you’re joining us for a quick drink, a bite to eat, or just catching up with friends, we’d absolutely love to welcome you back.
There’s always something happening at The Snipe, and I’m really looking forward to getting to know even more of you and making The Drumming Snipe a place you’re excited to visit again and again.
So, if it’s been a while… come and see us! We can’t wait to welcome you back. 🍻
Luis
