 Ellie "Ell" The 'sobering' influence - yeah, if you believe that . . .!!! |
| Management |
 Steve Herbert - The Landlord "Steve" Behind the bar or in the Kitchen, Steve is happiest when he's busy - well, until he has a beer in his hand! |
 Belinda Herbert - The Boss ! "Bill" or "Bel" Its her fault there are so many fancy dress pictures (for more, click here). |

 Tom Sainty - Barman & Chef "Tom" or "Tom-Arse" Would like to become a cocktail waitress one day, but at the moment he still smashes the most glasses, (thinking he's Tom Cruise!) |
 Nancy Robb - Barperson "Nance" Our resident vertically challenged barmaid, Nance is always on hand for a comical quip, but normally gets to the conversation just after it has ended! |

 Cordelia Jones - Barperson "Corry" or "Cory" Allllllllrrrrrrrriiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhhtttttttt. Cory can always be found giggling away behind the bar ... seriously, she'll laugh at anything. She brings a little ray of West Country sunshine to our lives. |
 Jordan Lewis - Barperson "Jordan" Look out Johnny Wilkenson, Jordan is after your job. When not behind the bar (or out drinking in Stroud) Jordan is a very keen rugby player and a well known face at Dursley RFU. If you want a laugh, listen to Jordan's girly giggle as he was voted worst laugh in Rednock Sixth Form. |
 Lorna Cooper - Barperson "Lorns" Lorna is now with us; she arguably had the most 'interesting' first week! We had to let her know that The Spot doesn't generate that much gossip normally!!! Lorna's got on with the way we run things really quickly and she'll be missed when she returns to Uni, but don't worry, she'll be back at Christmas. |

 Nona Purnell - Barperson "Nona" Always with a smile on her face as when she's behind the bar she can keep a watchful eye on boyfriend Karl. |
 Alex - Barperson "Alex" A well loved customer and celeb barstaff. If you listen carefully you can hear her lovable comments regarding the till. |
| Past Stars |
 Chris Pink - Barman & Chief Cellarman "Pinky" It's the quiet ones you need to keep an eye on. Normally our quietest staff member, but ... ! Simply a legend amongst bar staff. After six years at the pub, he's given up beer and moved onto milk (Dairy Crest). |
 Sam Pascoe - Chef "Sam" Can now been found in the kitchen, normally up to her elbows in coleslaw. |
 Ben Whittard - Barperson "Ben" The bass man - many of you would remember hime from his former band "Crimson Flight" (click here for more) |
 Jenny Cole - Barperson "Jen" or "Gin" The 'clever' one. When not at work, enjoys chopping up dead animals. (Don't worry, it's her Uni course!) |
 Grayce Lisendon - Barperson "Grayce" The most talkative of anyone on the planet! When not behind the bar, or cleaning at weekends, Grayce can be found mountain biking aound the area ... which also means that she has a new biking injury for each shift ... she bruises all colours of the rainbow! |
 Brigid Schoombie - Barperson "Bridge" Bridget started work with Steve and Bel back in the days of The Bell in Frampton and moved accross to the Spot with them. She is very much part of the Old Spot family and is often caught refering to Tom as her brother. Bridget is currently expecting a baby, so good luck Bridget and there'll be a job ready for the little one in 18 years. |
 Dave Walton - Barperson & Cellarman "Dave" The cheeky chappy barman, who has since moved onto pastures new in Bristol to follow his career as a personal trainer and physiotherapy. Dave still comes back to visit which is always a welcome break for us all. |
 Tom Rolls - Barperson & Chef "Tom" Tom was an excellent addition to the kitchen whioch led to him moving into cheffing full time in Bristol. While in the Old Spot kitchen Tom enjoyed experimenting and singing along with the latest chart hits. |
 Phil Ruben - Barperson "Phil" Long before the Parkinson brothers we had the Rubin brothers. A fabulous well recieved paring (especially by the lasdies)! |
 Nick Ruben - Barperson "Nic-O-Larse" The elder of the Rubin brotehrs, now working and living in London but as with many of the friends of the Spot he pops back to see us as often as possible. |
 Rob Woodward - Barperson "Rob" Rob has just finished a degree and is the newest member of the Old Spot team. The secret behind his tan is that he enjoys sailing and NOT, as rumours suggest, that he applies it from a bottle! |
 Debs - Barperson "Debs" |
 Andy Mills - Barperson "Andy" Andy can now be found on the piste, often in the US where he trains others. He loves nothing more than going "shredding" (a snow boarding term). |
 Nadine - Barperson & Kitchen "Nads" The new lass behind the bar is Nadine, boosting the female population behind the bar. You can always rely on her to bring a cheeky smile with every pint she pours. Nadine is very pleased to become a member of the team as it means she gets all the exercise she needs cycling to and from home-until her poorly car is fixed. She'll be mixing her time up behind the bar and the kitchen, so be nice - she maybe cooking your next meal! |
 Donna King - Barperson "Donna" or "Dons" Our brand new straight talking barmaid. Donna can also be found working with local scouts and has just finished her first aid training which for some reason means that she sings about elephants?!! |
 Natalie - Barperson "Nat" . |
 Ben Kingscote - Barperson "Ben" Ben is our well travelled bar staff coming all the way from Wootton. Yet another quiet member of staff but it's the quiet ones you have to watch. Congratulations to Ben for making it to college the morning after the Cotswold Spring Brewery trip. |
 Lawrence Dunworth - Barperson "Lawrence" Yet another member of staff who can be found on the Rugby pitch of Dursley RFU. Lawrence's favourite hobby outside of work is sleeping, which he does as often as possible. |
 Tom Parkinson - Barperson "Young Tom" Tom is Rob's big brother. It has been suggested that we keep giving staff the same names so that the customers wouldn't get confused. WE'd like to set the record straight that it is purely coincidental! Tom has just finished a degree in computing. Which is probably a good thing as his handwriting is completely illedgible. |
