Service Manager / Member of the team
SPON is about the celebration of all things spontaneous. Our new wine bar & bottle shop is made for trying new things, and having fun exploring the possibilities.
In the shop, we’ve got a rotational 12-bottle wine, beer, and cider board, all of which are available by-the-glass. If there are open slots on the board, we encourage guests to browse the shelves and fridges for a drop they want, and bring it to the counter for us to open and pour by-the-glass, for anyone to partake, until the bottle is empty. The bottle shop boasts an extraordinary selection of wild ales, natural wines, and other beverages.
Our rotational bottle selection format creates a highly dynamic and ever-changing service and guest experience, with something new on pour every day, multiple times a day.
