Meet The Spec Team – Keeping the Beer Flowing & the Roasties Crispy


Running a 200-year-old pub, a massive beer garden, and a campsite isn’t for the faint-hearted—but luckily, we’ve got a team who can handle it all (mostly with a pint in hand). Meet the legends behind The Spec:


Cheryl – The Boss, The Chef, The Heartbeat

If The Spec had a Queen, it would be Cheryl. She runs the pub, manages the madness, and cooks up legendary meals—all while making it look effortless. Having honed her craft at Lawrenny Arms and Milton Brewery, she’s now the undisputed ruler of The Spec, and honestly, we don’t know how we’d function without her.

Martyn – The Camp Boss, Lawn Whisperer & Jack of All Trades

Martyn has been here since the start of the restoration, so if there’s a brick, beam, or barstool in The Spec, he’s probably moved it at some point. Now, he manages the campsite, cuts the grass to perfection, and welcomes guests with a grin. He also jumps behind the bar when needed—because, let’s be honest, a good pint is just as important as a well-mowed lawn.

Frankie – The Smiling Superstar

Assistant cook, waitress, barmaid, and ray of sunshine, Frankie is always happy and smiling (which is impressive considering she works with her parents). After four years at Lawrenny Arms and two at Milton Brewery, she’s now keeping The Spec running smoothly, making sure your pint’s cold, your food’s hot, and your experience is top-notch.

Andrew – The Beer Keeper, & Food Runner

Every great pub needs a man who keeps the beer flowing and the food arriving on time, and that man is Andrew. With 10 years at Lawrenny Arms and two at Milton Brewery, he knows his way around a well-poured pint and a perfectly timed food order. He’ll take your request, bring you Cheryl’s legendary cooking, and probably crack a joke while he’s at it.

So there you have it—The Spec Dream Team. Whether you’re here for a pint, a meal, or a weekend under the stars, we’ve got you covered. Just don’t get between Cheryl and the kitchen, Martyn and his grass, or Andrew and his beer pumps. You’ve been warned.
