Introducing…Linda

One of the many things that makes Pierreponts special is our fantastic team and we know that you like to get to know them a bit better. In this post we meet long-standing waitress Linda, who loves running, cheese straws and gin!

Where do you live and who do you live with?

I live in Goring with my 13-year-old daughter, Rosie.

Eight years.

What’s the best thing about working at Pierreponts?

As I’ve worked there for so long it’s not like going to work – it feels like coming home.

Being too busy on a Saturday morning to answer the persistently ringing telephone.

The cheese straws.

Definitely a huge gin and tonic.

What’s your favourite cafe or restaurant (apart from Pierreponts, of course!)?

I love the Perch and Pike in South Stoke.

Whats’ the funniest thing that’s happened at work?

When Phillippa fell over putting out the awning. Although of course we didn’t laugh!

Either with a run, chilling out with Rosie or a nice glass of wine.

Supernatural.

Fish.

I once apologised to a customer about a member of staff for being new and not really knowing what she was doing. It turned out she was her daughter!
