It’s that time again for another instalment of our Meet the Team series, where we’ll be shining a spotlight on the fantastic people who make Castle Rock what it is!
If you’re new here, each week, we introduce you to one of our brilliant Castle Rockians, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the people who pour your pints, keep things running smoothly, and who make your favourite pubs special.
This time, we’re heading over to the Poppy and Pint to meet James, their incredible General Manager!

How long have you worked at Castle Rock for?: 32 years
What’s the most rewarding part of your job?: “Chatting to customers and seeing them enjoy their experience at the Poppy, whether that’s for a meal, one of the classes upstairs or just a pint!”
