Well hello internet! I won’t lie to you (have I ever?), I’m a little ashamed it took me this long to get back in the saddle. The last post on this blog is a couple years old, just shameful. I have been incredibly busy. While it’s a weak argument in my defense it has the […]
If you ever worked in hospitality, for any amount of time really, even one shift would be enough to have a taste of one of the longest lasting battle in any industry, the good old front of house versus back of the house. In some restaurant, you can actually feel it floating in the air, […]
Truth is, it’s always a little heartbreaking to see one of your staff go. You work alongside people, day after day for many many hours, going through the good and the less good alike so when they decide it’s time to move on you reminisce on the good times and wish them the best. That […]
I’ve made every single coffee coming out of the HB bar since day 1 (Minus a few coffees made by some of my talented friends pulling rockstar shifts : Matt Perger, Eileen PK, Jarrad Sharrock, Huw Murdock, love you guys!) but now that we have an extra 15 seats, taking the total seat count to […]
Holybelly is the business school we’ve never been to. Every single day at HB is a new lesson. The way I look at it there is no one way to run a business but only your way, doing what feels right every turns of the road. I was going to write a lengthily blog post […]
Summer break is coming to an end so it’s time for us to start hiring some new faces for this upcoming year. If you’ve been following what’s going on at HB you’ll know that our dear Rachel moved back home and that our front-of-house-trooper from day 1, ML is moving to the back-of-the-house with Sarah […]
We all know the saying “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” and I, personally, am a big fan of that saying. If it works, if people like it, if it tastes good, don’t change a thing. Routine doesn’t have to be a rude word. Consistency, which matters to me more than anything else, is […]
And we’re back! Well, Holybelly Ski Trip 2015 has been all we were hoping for and more! The weather was absolutely stunning, we had lunch outside in the sun at the bottom of the slopes everyday, total T-Shirt weather! The snow was abundant and perfect, we had the whole resort for ourselves since it was […]
No point in denying it, things are going well for the Belly. I like to think it’s a combination of different factors that makes you guys wanna spend a bit of time and some of your hard earned money at HB. The coffee is good, the food’s banging but also, to wrap it all up […]
We always wanted mugs for Holybelly but for some reason it didn’t feel quite right to get them right away. I think having your branded mugs on opening day can look rather tacky. People don’t know who you are, what you’re up to, why would they want to fork 12 euros for your mugs or […]
