John still causing a stir in the kitchen

John still causing a stir in the kitchen after 20 years.

John (pictured centre) has been celebrating 20 years with Wetherspoon, having risen through the ranks to become kitchen manager at The Sussex.

John joined The Palladium (Llandudno) as a kitchen associate in 2003 from another pub group, after approaching the pub’s manager, Steve.

John’s wife, Susie, joined The Palladium later in 2003 and is now kitchen manager at The Market Cross (Holywell), working with their son Luke, who is a kitchen associate there.

There have been brief periods where the couple have worked together, yet mostly they have worked at different pubs.

“I enjoy working for Wetherspoon – and the flexibility with hours is important.
“Susie and I have a busy family life with our three teenage children – and 40 reptiles, including bearded dragons and snakes.”

John left The Palladium to join The Picture House (Colwyn Bay), but Susie stayed.

John then moved to The Market Cross as a kitchen team leader and then shift leader at The Sussex, which he had joined as a kitchen manager in 2013.

John added: “I enjoy working for Wetherspoon – and the flexibility with hours is important.

“Susie and I have a busy family life with our three teenage children – and 40 reptiles, including bearded dragons and snakes.

“As well as working for Wetherspoon, Susie has a part-time reptile rescue operation.”
