Meet the Quiet Team

Owen

Our Head Barman, Owen is a one off. We are so lucky to have him as part of our team.
In his spare time Owen keeps a flock of goats (making cheese with the milk), writes and directs the local pantomime (always a sell out!) and sits on the Parish Council. 
Owen is a popular member of the team who can turn his hand to most things and can occasionally be found helping out the groundworker team. 
Owen is responsible for all aspects of the bar and is currently building a growing group of talented musicians to expand our live music offering. 
 
 

George

Our general manager, George is the 3rd Generation of Holders to be associated with The Quiet Site.  
In his spare time George is a keen horseman.  He supports Arsenal, plays in local 5 a side competitions and is renovating a farm house with his partner Libby. 

Rebeca

Rebecca lives locally and joined us part-time while still at school.  
An amazingly positive person, Rebecca mastered running our reception in no time at all.
