If you plan on coming on down to 1two3 this weekend be sure to say hi to our NEW Restaurant Manager Vanessa, a.k.a – NESS!

When I caught up with our girl this week I asked her a few questions on what she thought about her new position and if there’s anything new we can expect to see during her new reign as Manager.

Q 1- How many years have you been in the hospitality industry?

A :9 long and eventful years!

Q 2 – How many years at 1two3?

A: Its a bit blurry, but I’m going to have to say 2 and a half years of some of the most memorable times.

Q: 3 – What’s the funniest moment you’ve had at 1two3 since you’ve been there for so long?

A: Oooooh the funniest moment….I have so many! Definitely during bar service is when the funniest moments go down..like this one big guy was dancing the night away and whenever someone noticed him he’d start clicking his fingers and swaying side to side. lol I actually have that footage on my camera! p.s dont fall asleep in the bar i have the camera ready for you…just so you all know we do have a sleeping hall of fame! Drunkin sleep shots do you no justice hahaha

Q: 4 – What makes 1two3 so unique to other bars at night/day as opposed to other resto’s/bars in Broady?

A: The dinner service can get a little bit crazier than everyone else understands. I think even our customers would agree we take it that most of our staff try to take it that one step further than everywhere else. We just like getting a little more invovled with our patrons and making it “an experience” is what I think we’re about, and we really do care about our customers… and hopefully they like us as much as we like them! We like to think that’s why they keep coming back.

Q: 5 – What changes would like to make or like see being made?

A: Changes – not so much I dont see things slippin, we just keep that positive energy flowing and keep everyone smiling its a great environment to work in and hopefully to be entertained as well!

Q: 6- Do you think it’s best to promote in house as opposed to hiring someone with “more” experience outside of the 1two3 family?

A: Absolutely not! If someone has the experience and brings the right element to the table then why not, its always nice to have some fresh blood in the family, variety is the spice of life.

Q: 7 – What makes you and Sascha such a great team working together?

A: Sach and I have known and worked along side each other for some time now. So we have that as an advantage. I’m teaching her all i know and we’re having fun with it at the same time. We’re a great team and flow together really nicely, we both have a strong relationship with the staff which definitely makes things run really nicely, I cant wait to see how things unfold in the future.

Q:8 – As manager what are some things you wish you could say to patrons but can’t?

A: Well all in all you can say most things, its just your approach that will make or break what you say. Whether it will affect your business, or how people view you BUT…there’s always one though! lol

Q: 9 – What has made you stay so long at 1two3?

A: The family that weve built with the staff and customers i love coming to work even if its a bad day they make it worth while.

Q: 10- What can everyone expect to see in the future?

A: Well we are training the girls to dance on the bar, no-one quite has the talent that Fallon used to bring to the stage but we are workin on it… We have lotsa fun events coming up in the future so make sure you get along and come party with us we’d love to see you all there getting as crazy if not crazier with us!

We have an amazing new menu that our brand new head chef Cheyenne has created from all the hidden corners of the Mediterranean. B eautiful new flavours with all the old favourites still available to get your tastebuds tingeling so come on down and see what its all about!

Can’t wait to see you! xxx
