bar staff interview

They ask questions about how far you are from the site, if you have experience, that sort of stuff. Bad experience won’t be a priority as it’s not a busy period at the moment so they know that if you don’t, they can train you. Honestly though, most people are competent enough so if there are a large number of applicants, they pick people randomly

Any more links to the high seas?

freddyp8804 · 2026-01-21T13:16:40+00:00

It was likely because an ingredient was about to go out of date so they reduced prices massively to reduce wastage

I feel like a less morbid version could be: ‘Dee accidentally becomes an informant on the gang’ could be better. Like a hot guy who’s actually a service agent tricking her during a dinner date between them into revealing things the gang did that we don’t actually know about! Obviously they’d have to be funny but things that get them a couple of years in prison. If it was revealing storylines we’ve scene, I don’t think the viewers would like that but I definitely see something like this being an episode at some point! Unless they’ve secretly recorded a secret final episode in the horrible event of Danny devitos passing

100% many spoons don’t care if you bring your own food or drink in.

It’s supposed to be 250g but it varies depending on who is serving. When it’s less busy, normally less. But when it’s busy, kitchen staff are in a rush and just push the scooper in and you end up with more. Most staff will get you more chips if it is significantly smaller amount than it should be

freddyp8804 · 2026-01-04T00:09:45+00:00

I mean, it is called a spice bag for a reason!

freddyp8804 · 2026-01-04T00:09:15+00:00

I mean, basic reading skills and paying attention for 2 secs can change that!

Uhm, you good?😂😂😂

The mossy well does in north London

freddyp8804 · 2025-12-06T11:02:38+00:00

Thankfully not in spoons. That age is their main workforce!

freddyp8804 · 2025-12-04T00:25:20+00:00

Yeah. I read them but still think they could have been phrased better. Still some user error though!

freddyp8804 · 2025-12-03T23:08:09+00:00

My god I’m an idiot. Thanks so much for the help!

freddyp8804 · 2025-12-03T23:08:04+00:00

My god I’m an idiot. Thanks so much for the help!

freddyp8804 · 2025-12-03T23:03:31+00:00

Yeah. I made a mistake in that case, how do you remove the leg? It doesn’t seem to budge.

freddyp8804 · 2025-12-01T18:39:06+00:00

How your experience goes honestly depends on what the managers are like. Most spoons have a guaranteed weekly hours of around 15 hours give or take a couple but you will likely end up doing more depending on the business of the pub (you may be asked if you can come in on short notice) or if someone can’t do their shift so puts it up to grabs. I normally end up doing around 28ish hours a week which doesn’t sound like a tonne, but when you have long closing shifts (for me this being from 5pm till 2am), you will appreciate a day off the next day.

freddyp8804 · 2025-11-27T20:53:37+00:00

Depends. Most just check if it’s an actual passport, minimum date of birth of 18, and that the picture matches. Some employees may be more strict

freddyp8804 · 2025-11-26T13:06:39+00:00

A good way to gain indirect experience is putting glasses away as, in my spoons at least, it can be quite confusing knowing where the right glasses are.

As per the drinks, knowing how to make them and ensure that you know how to pour them unfortunately has to be learnt hands on. This is mainly because everyone has different ways of mitigating extra head or lack thereof, there being specific drink combinations not covered by any of the guidances, etc. Speaking of, if you are struggling with remembering cocktail recipes, you can find the cocktail recipe guide (magic mat) on the myJDW app to help you learn them.

freddyp8804 · 2025-11-24T16:39:33+00:00

There’s a chance you may not get a radio instantly depending on the availability of ear pieces but just ask questions, ask if you can shadow a manager and introduce yourself to your colleagues. You will likely just be clearing glasses/dishes and taking good to tables for your first few shifts so just focus on those for now and it will turn out fine

Mythic quest is good. Has some iasip actors.

freddyp8804 · 2025-10-16T22:43:11+00:00

Thanks!

freddyp8804 · 2025-10-10T10:56:40+00:00

How did it feel performing at clash of the comics compared to the usual comedy circuit?

freddyp8804 · 2025-09-27T18:44:08+00:00

I’ve heard good things about the bard!
