I thought there would be some complaints if I didn't mention the people who actually make the Queens Head Inn what it is, so here they are. Eventually I hope to get some photos of them all (although they don't know that), but for now here are the names and a few *personal* comments..
Plase note, the staff mentioned here worked in the pub in 1997 and most have since moved on.

One other thing. If you come in on a Saturday night you may see some of the nicest looking female staff in a pub anywhere!

Kitchen Staff - the engine room

• David Bain - The Scottish Head chef who in 4 years has brought the Queens from an ordinary country pub up to the excellent eating establishment we see today.
  Late news : It's official, Dave is married After 10 years with Fiona, he has finally tied the knot. Maybe this is catching, could it be that you will find romance at the Queens Head? There's only one way to find out..
  
  
• Kerry A - Our trainee chef, resident nutter and kitchen beauty queen. ( I hope Emma doesn't see this! )
  
  
• Chris Tommlinson - One of the 2 partners in the business and just married to Jo ! Please send all sympathy messages to bookings@queensheadinn.co.uk [Big Grin]
  
  
• "Trev the Grasshopper" - Yes that's me folks, the webmaster and creator of this glorious site.
  After the 6th October 1997 I will be running Hyperlink Computer Solutions (HCS) which can produce a unique web page for your business along with several other services at extremely competitive prices.. Please mail me at enquiries@hcs-cumbria.co.uk for further information.
  Presently living in Penrith, Cumbria, just in case you wanted to know..
  

  Room service (love was in the air...)

• Emma - Emma is the only ex-employee on these pages, but the reason why is my secret.. She joined the team at the end of May and was responsible for cleaning and maintaining the Queens, especially the rooms. I'm afraid we don't provide room service, but I couldn't think of a more technical name for chambermaid.
  She's also responsible for completely wrecking my brain with theories on *everything* from the big bang to life after death !
  She is a 22 year old genius and now works at B&Q in Penrith.. :-(
  (Well 22 in 1997)

  Bar Staff

• Jo Tommlinson - Jo is the other partner in the business and yes, has just married Chris !!
  Ok, you can also send sympathy messages to bookings@queensheadinn.co.uk for Jo also :-)
  
  
• Claire - Claire (the gentle red head) can usually be seen behind the bar on Friday and Saturday nights. One of the nicest people you could ever meet ! Cheers you up any day... (well worth a visit, that's for sure!)

  Restaurant staff

  
  Apart from Chris and Jo who can often be seen hurrying around the restaurant *looking* busy there are presently 2 part-time waitresses who's contribution is equally as valuable.
  
  
• Holly - The only member of staff actually living in the village and the most willing worker in the whole darn place. I'm sure she is after my job though..
  
  
• Joe Coultin - The 2nd Joe! An art student at Carlisle art college. Yes she does also serve on the bar occasionally, just to confuse. This Jo is the only person I know who smiles even when she is depressed... Not bad looking either <grin>.
  
  At least there is one good point to all these Jo's, when you call for Jo you are *guaranteed* to get immediate service !

  Resident animals

  Although that is the paid staff I should mention Gillespie the mad dog and Wilber the cat who you may catch a glimpse of on the roof of the premises.
