✨ Meet the team - Octavia ✨
From the Kids Area, to the Bistro, and now one of our friendly faces in the Sportsbar, Octavia has become a familiar part of the Bridge Inn team.
If you've ever met Octavia, you'll know she's one of the bubbliest people around. She's always up for a chat, quick with a laugh, and has a way of making both guests and other staff members feel welcome.
Outside of work, Octavia has a passion for dancing professionally and is incredibly talented at it. The same energy, confidence and enthusiasm she brings to her dancing career is exactly what she brings to every shift at the pub.
What we love most about Octavia is her positive attitude and genuine ability to put a smile on people's faces. She's the kind of person who brightens a room just by walking into it, and we're so lucky to have her as part of the team.
Next time you see her around the pub, be sure to say hello! 💙
