Age: 25
Position: Assistant-Manager
Joined Casa del Mar: 2010
Job History: I started working in
JD Sports at 16 working on the footwear department the money wasn’t great but
the 25% staff discount came in handy. When I turned 18 I started working in a
pub as a glass collector before moving onto working on the bar. I then joined
casa del mar
in 2010
What I like about working here:
First of all I like the customers without them there would be no job. I enjoy
getting to know regulars, even knowing what they will be eating and drinking
before they order.
Working in casa has made me a
better cook at home, although I don’t work in the kitchen I have picked up many
tips and great ideas also Chris and Luke are always happy to give me advice
The staff here are more than just
work colleagues they are friends even some who have moved in stay on contact. I
met my partner shelley working here and we have been together 3 ½ years and she
recently gave birth to our first child Thomas
Other full time staff members
Laura, Chris And Luke are really close friends so much so that Laura and Chris
who are also a couple will become Thomas’s godparents in April.
Favourite Dishes: there is so many
great dishes to choose from but if I had to choose it would be the deep fried
brie with red onion marmalade followed closely by merguez sausages
Favourite Holiday: although I have
had many family holidays as a kid and even as an adult I would have to say
Bulgaria in 2013 with shelley. We stayed in a 5* hotel all inclusive the food
was to die for as were the cocktails.
Krimo says: Since joining Casa del Mar, Garry has evolved in so many ways. His organisational skills have moved him up from waiter to assistant-manager in a few short years. Getting together with Shelley and becoming a father to Thomas are two cornerstones in his life that have made him mature so quickly.
