Name Dates Comments Stephen Cook 1976/1992 My parents Mike Cook and Heather Cook were the publicans. I grew up here. We knew many of the locals. Geoffrey Hammond 1995 I worked at the pub for about 3 months, sometime from July to November 1995. At the time the manager's name was Bret and he lived there with his girlfriend/wife Michelle. Others working at the pub at that time: Young Spanish lady, Mercedes, young British man, Matthew Sister pubs to this one were the Arnos Arms (formerly next to the Arnos Grove tube station) and the Maid of Muswell when they were all part of the Bass pub chain. Brett Hall 1995 This was my first pub that I was licencee of . I believe it was around 6 moths we managed the pub then myself and Michelle moved to the Angel in Highgate . It was very unusual pub with stair to get to main bar. We did have a Thai restaurant downstairs called the Thai Tiger and actually brought in a tiger cub for the opening . A lot of fun with the students from across the road and some great memories . I left London 1998 returning to Australia Francis 1978 Barman. Other members of staff from Australia and New Zealand. I made friends with a Midlands bank manager in Bermuda- god knows what he came to London for - while washing glasses and serving pink gins and pints of lager... I was a student then and welcomed the money provided by the job. Heather was a fine woman who was a very good cook and Mike kept the whole show running with a smooth but firm hand. Clayton Fulmar 1978 Barman. Started there before I was 18! Mike and Heather were a great couple to work for. Lots of famous faces drank there. Quite a few lock ins ( even for the local CID!). Also used to DJ there. Frank the bar manager, sometimes a bit grumpy but made a fab egg and sausage sandwich when it was cellar cleaning day.
