Our team

Jamie West took on the Rose & Crown in February 2013.

He is our fabulous Landland, with marathon running wife Liz and princesses Ellie and Alice, you'll see them twirling around in Frozen dresses most days.
 

They lead a team of chatty waitresses, bar staff with epic banter and talented kitchen staff, who together create the modern zeitgeist of the friendly village pub.

Zoë Traynor has worked with Jamie since the beginning of his pub adventure 6 years ago, swapping from managing the Rose to working behind the scenes as Head of Digital, and Marketing & PR Manager in 2015. 

Very occasionally you may see her on site, hanging out with the team, in full creative mode.

Loren Cassidy is our resident Manager, originally from Belfast moving to London many moons ago to work with British Airways in cabin crew but soon realised the risk of crashing terrified her!

Staying in London, Loren gained her skills in management, food and booze expertise and customer service managing the likes of the Washington in Belsize Park and the Oxford in Kentish Town.

We snapped Loren up soon after she moved into St. Albans and she’s been looking after (and partying) with our locals ever since.
