Dale sizzles in the kitchen

When Dale took on a part-time temporary Christmas bar job at Wetherspoons (Metrocentre, Gateshead) in 1998, he never dreamed that it would be the start of a long career.

Amazing Amanda celebrates 10 years at The Joseph Bramah.

We asked Amanda to tell us about her role and why she enjoys working at Wetherspoon.

“What I like about working at Wetherspoon is the atmosphere – it’s like a family. I also like the way we’re treated: if someone falls, we pick them up and start again together. We all have one another’s back, so when the going gets tough, we keep going forward.
