The Drinks and Hospitality Podcast - let's get behind the bar!
Proudly Sponsored by Distillers Direct: https://www.distillersdirect.com/ (https://www.distillersdirect.com/)
This podcast is brought to you by hospitality professionals Mike and Tim, discussing all things hospitality. Diving into the history of famous drinks and drinkers, discussing current affairs and politics with various guests, sharing our Stories of Service, and adding pet-hates to our forever-banned "86-List". We also feature our anonymous confessions segment: Bar-Stool Confessions, bringing your naughty stories to light, whilst guaranteeing your anonymity.
In this podcast, we talk about hospitality as a career and life-style choice, rather than just a part time job. So join in, adapt the speed to cater to your attention span (ADHDers, whack it on 1.5x!), chuckle along, and ping us in your thoughts, confessions, and other inputs via our email address, hey@pitppodcast.co.uk.
By Tim Garratt of SOAK Cocktail Co. and Michael Arrowsmith of the Benjamin Pimlico Pub Company.
Today we are joined by Meg and Sarah to talk about mental health in the hospitality industry. We discuss our daily interactions with the general public, as well as the long term effects of working in such an exposed, customer facing industry, surrounded by alcohol, and consisting of intense shift work.
We will also be discussing Vincent Van Gogh as our Drinker of the week, and trying the famous Absinthe cocktail, the Green Fairie, along with discussing some of it's origins.
