3 THE BOAT HOUSE GROUP CALENDAR OF EVENTS JUL - DEC 2011

THE BOAT HOUSE, ST AUBIN QUAY BAR

WELCOME Introduction by Nigel Godfrey Managing Director

Welcome to the second edition of The Boat House Group diary. It’s packed with events, promotions and activities to keep you busy throughout the summer and into winter. It’s been a busy year for the Group already with the launch of our first Grape House shop, the introduction of a two-floor play zone at The Tree House and a new management team for The Beach House. I also took on a personal challenge in April by running the London Marathon and I want to thank all our staff and customers for their overwhelming support.

I hope you enjoy our diary of events and find something to interest you in each of our venues; The Boat House, The Beach House, The Farm House and The Tree House. Also don’t forget to pop in and see Katy at The Grape House for that special bottle of wine!

25 THE BOAT HOUSE GROUP FEATURE

MEET THE MANAGER

Mark Tostevin ‘ROCK AROUND THE ROCK’ HOG ROAST PARTY 28th August

The Tree House How long have you worked for the Boat House Group?

NEW! The Farm House will take part in the Rock Around The Rock initiative where 12 musical duo´s will play from 11am in 12 pubs in 12 Parishes! The live music will continue until 10.30pm on a rotation basis. The event is in aid of Help a Jersey Child. During the day, The Farm House will also put on a spectacular hog roast, which will be served until 9pm.

I’ve been with the Group just over three years now. I started in The Boat House in 2008 working predominantly in Sails Brasserie. Over the three following years I constantly strived to improve and work my way up the ladder, eventually moving to The Tree House early this year as General Manager. What do you enjoy the most about your job? The most enjoyable part of my job is that I get to meet new people every day and also really get to know loyal customers. I get a buzz from the job, there’s nothing better than a customer coming to you at the end of the night thanking you for a great time.

BANK HOLIDAY WARM-UP 29th August NEW! To warm up for one of the biggest clubbing nights of the year, visit The Beach House for the Bank Holiday warm-up session. Enjoy summer tunes from the DJ on the terrace as you sip cocktails and enjoy sharing plates with friends to start your night off in style. To book a table call (01534) 498605.

How is the kids play zone ‘The Monkey House’ being received? Honestly, I think that was the best thing we could have done. Being a local lad I have always associated the pub and restaurant as a family orientated place and to bring the kids play area back on this scale is fantastic. The kids have been going ‘Bananas’ over ‘The Monkey House’ and the kid’s party packages. What’s your favourite dish on the menu and why? At the minute we are renowned for our pizzas and rotisserie chicken, but what I am really pleased about is our new menu being so well received. My favourite dish on the new menu would have to be our Seafood Antipasti Platter. What event are you most looking forward to this season? I am really looking forward to our ‘Big Day Out’ over the August Bank Holiday, where we will be having live music all throughout the day, kids entertainment and a BBQ themed menu running all day.
