Meet Ellen
Ellen has been with us since starting as a potwasher at just 15 years old, and showing promise quickly progressed onto waitressing and bar work. She then travelled the world as cabin crew for British Airways but eventually came back to her "favourite place to work" Owd Betts.
Ellen always has a smile on her face and loves to look after our lovely customers!
When asked what her favourite thing about Owd Betts is, Ellen shared “The atmosphere… created from both our customers and our team all year round… whether everyone is enjoying a cold drink in the sunshine or fighting for the best seat in front of the log fire… No matter what time of year it’s always the coziest place to be.”
