best of luck lads in 2025!

I’m a property manager for a small company who have about 10 pubs which are rented out and the biggest issue with hospitality that I’ve seen is the chefs and managers. Chefs are so unreliable in terms of staying at place for long and so inconsistent with their food quality. They can be good for 1st month and then they just slack off. Front of house /general managers are also quite disappointing. Not many people take pride in their work anymore. Out of all the pubs/restaurants in our town there is probably only about 5 if I’m generous that are worth going to. I think with prices naturally going up people can’t afford to be mediocre anymore and with all these cooking shows on tv it’s raised the bar for people’s expectations. One of our pubs we do run ourselves which is wet led doing 7k a week and we want to do food to get it to the next level. I’ve interviewed 10 chefs or tried to… half didn’t turn up and the other half were either no good or when offered the job didn’t turn in! We’ve just had 2 tenants request this week to get out of their leases! Also across 5 of our pubs they’ve closed and re opened different companies for over 500k including ripping off suppliers and HMRC.. that’s just one town! It must be hundreds of millions when you look at that across the country! Ha so in my summary and perhaps unpopular opinion I think a lot ultimately need to close so that the others can survive as it appears no one is truly winning

It's not proper scouse unless you've robbed at least half the ingredients...

I really hope and want yous to smash it hard work pays off and you boys are working hard,come on the BarrieBros 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is what pisses me off when I see and hear people who go to restaurants and say "you paid £29 for a steak what a rip off" they don't realise your not just paying for the plate of food .. a percentage of that money goes to everything you enjoy in a restaurant visit,maybe of people get their head round this they might spend a bit more to support their favourite places.

Great insight into the industry. Lets keep working together and we will see it through!

A lot of hard work to put these events on, but from the customers point of view, so worth it. We had some great nights this summer and looking forwrd to 2025.

I was at this guest chef night. Still have dreams about that lamb... 😋

👏🏻

Looks delicious, but my gut will kill me for eating that 😢

I wish I was a Barrie bro, do yous adopt anyone? I'll clean and yous cook,deal👍🏻🤣

Lad can I have your Christmas dinner leftovers? I'll pick them up boxing day morning👍🏻

The indigious Norwegian Sami people has a pot called bidos. Back in the day the Samis were called "laps" (pl), which today is an offensive term. Bidos reminds of the Norwegian lapskaus. Bidos is made of rein deer meet, broth, potato and carrots. No onion. The Norwegian lapskaus might come from the Sami/Lap dish bidos (Lap-skaus/Lap-scouse) but the Norwegians called it Lapskaus (Lap's kaus or Laps' kaus). Brought Lapskaus to Liverpool, where it's called only scouse. This is just my personal theory

You don't make scouse with ox cheek or shin of beef. Scrag end of lamb is the canonical meat for scouse.

Tyson fury press conference will have to wait, the barriebros are on! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

About a top chef support local suppliers and business.
