Scott Kink

I have over 18 years of experience working in the hospitality industry, specialising in cocktail bars, pubs, restaurants and kitchen operations. Throughout my career, I have gained experience across all areas of hospitality, from leading teams and managing venues to working hands-on in both bar and kitchen environments. I have developed strong leadership, organisation and customer service skills, with a passion for creating great experiences for both guests and teams.

I take pride in maintaining high standards, working efficiently under pressure and always giving my best in every role I take on.
