Everyone, including the team here at Rivendell, enjoys dining out. Whether once a week or once a month, relaxing in the company of friends and family, whilst choosing from a delicious menu and the bonus of leaving the washing up behind, is an enjoyable treat.
However, for those behind the scenes the story is quite different. The waiting staff balance plates as they juggle multiple tables, bar staff rush around creating an array of cocktails, chefs sweat under the pressure of orders and heat of the kitchen. And don’t forget the work that goes into creating the ideal dining atmosphere for customers too.
