About Us

Bekka grew up in the hospitality industry and started working in the trade at just 10 years old, before getting her personal licence at 17. Ironically, she was trusted to supervise the sale of alcohol before she was even old enough to drink it herself!

She stepped away from working alongside her parents at 15 to work in Lovedean, before moving to Chichester, carrying out relief work across Surrey and North London, and eventually settling in Droxford. 

At just 24, and after 14 years in the trade, Bekka took on her very own pub with Kieron.

Now trained to Level 2 Sommelier, Bekka has a real passion for hospitality — although you’ll often find her running through the bar for something far more important… a dog that needs stroking!

Kieron has been working in the hospitality trade for 11 years and secured his first Head Chef position at just 21 years old. Since then, he’s gone from strength to strength, picking up multiple awards and accolades, including several AA Rosettes and the title of  Best Roast in Hampshire.

Kieron’s favourite part of the job is getting creative in the kitchen, especially when he can use ingredients grown right here in our own garden. He loves turning fresh, homegrown produce into something delicious and always enjoys pushing the boundaries with what’s on the plate.

Issy is one of our supervisors and has been part of the team since we took over in January 2025. She has recently completed her Level 3 Hospitality Supervisor apprenticeship in Food & Beverage, graduating with Distinction — something we’re incredibly proud of her for achieving.

You’ll most often find Issy out on the floor, chatting with customers, making everyone feel welcome and helping to create the warm, friendly atmosphere that we love our pub to be known for.

Meg has been with us from the very, very beginning and has been an important part of the journey since day one. When we first took over the pub, she rolled up her sleeves and helped us decorate and transform the place — so you can still see plenty of her handiwork around the pub today!

More recently, Meg has been promoted to Supervisor, and she continues to impress us with everything she does. She’s a valued member of the team and we’re so pleased to have had her with us from the very start.

William has worked alongside Bekka and Kieron for over five years, taking on a whole range of different roles during that time. He’s incredibly multiskilled and can turn his hand to just about anything, from working in the kitchen to being out front with our customers.

That said, William definitely prefers being out front, where he can have a laugh and a joke with all our lovely locals rather than being hidden away in the kitchen. Although, if he does end up back there, don’t worry — you’ll still hear his very loud laugh from wherever you are in the pub!
