What’s a seriously social pub without some seriously social crew ? Our team are more than just pub staff – they’re family. We look after each other so that we can best look after you.
So, here’s the duke of brunswick family:
Simone Douglas
Publican
Simone has been seriously social for nearly 3 decades now – it’s what’s allowed her to love what she does. It’s her ethos of community and bringing people together that drives the business forward and breaks the mould of what a pub is meant to be. Theres a reason that everyone knows Simone from somewhere, follow her other endeavours here.
Alex Fairgrieve
Factotum
Literally, Alex does all kinds of work. That’s what ‘factotum’ means. Never has a word so aptly described both the work ethic and responsibilities of one person. Something needs doing and no-one knows who should do it or how to do it, Alex jumps in. If you’ve ever wondered why the pub’s drink list is so extensive, he’s the man to thank. Check it out here.
Tiffany Hughes
Head Chef
Anytime you’ve been absolutely floored by the delicious gluten free treats placed in front of you, that’s thanks to the ingenuity and passion of Tiff. She is pushing the boundaries of gluten free food and we couldn’t be happier to have her on board!

TJ found us through the cafe and quickly became an amazing part of the team at both venues. TJ loves learning all he can about hospitality so if you thought he was good now – just you wait!

Nat Edwards
Team Member
Nat worked with Alex a long time ago and he’s been keen to get her involved with the dob for a long time. Stoked that she’s part of the team moving forward!

In these times there is no one more important than Simon. Making sure that the entire pub is spick and span day after day is his aim.

James Miller
Cleaner / Dishy
We’ve known James for years as a guest but he’s recently decided to make the jump and join us as a member of the team! He ends up dabbling in a bit of everything and his contributions are invaluable
