TESTIMONIAL
"I worked in a pub prior to doing the course and I still learned new techniques."
"A great experience all round. You learn so much and as someone who has worked in a pub prior to doing the course I still found myself learning new techniques not only into making drinks and behind the bar etiquette but how you should serve people. Grant was a great teacher whom I cannot fault, very enthusiastic and a great teacher. Highly recommend the course."
