Our blog about all things peachy
Seeing all our team together totally blows my mind. It only happens once a year, at our summer party, 400 people or so, in a field, in a big top, with bars, BBQ, circus acts, dodgems (this year), band, DJ. Wow! Long way from sitting in front of my desktop, in my flat on the Hagley … Continued
One of our over-arching aims here at Peach is to deliver the good stuff. Every time. And that doesn’t just mean what we serve in our pubs, it also means how we treat people – our guests, our team – and our communities and planet. The founders of Peach – Lee, Hamish and Jo – … Continued
We run our pubs as though we’re throwing a dinner party, an analogy we often use when training our teams. It gives everyone a really easy way of understanding how to handle any situation, and ensures we get the food, drink and atmosphere right for all of our guests. We also know how to throw … Continued
Team Dry January Sophie says…. Dry January for me came with an added strain – the start of a diet. 17 days in and I’m wondering what the point of life is. As an avid gin fan, with a cherished extensive home bar, I was much more suited to ‘Ginuary’, but I thought, hey-ho, not … Continued

It’s 9am on a Monday morning and I’m sitting at the airport four and a half hours before our flight, waiting to be joined by six other unknown faces to this whimsical fairytale … Continued
Billed as ‘the most important gastronomic event San Sebastián/Donostria will hold this year,’ Russell Allen (from Aubrey Allen) and I headed out for a couple of days. It’s one of those wonderfully under the radar cities. Sure there are tourists, but not so many that the balance between local and holiday is lost – it feels … Continued
As a gin enthusiast, and lover of all things ‘homemade’ I decided 2017 would be the year to make my first batch of Sloe Gin. Following a lot of research (and sifting through articles and articles of contradictory myths) I settled upon the Sipsmith way. Myth number one – you need to wait until the … Continued
LONDON. COCKTAIL. WEEK. Yes – sounds amazing doesn’t it! This year it was bigger than ever, with LCW partnering up with 250 bars across London for the seven-day festival. All you have to do is buy a pass for £10, which gets you a £5 signature cocktail from and of the involved bars – as … Continued
Four times a year, like the seasons, our comment cards change and bring to the table a new prize for our lucky guests to win. For summer, there was two lots of prizes up for grabs; a trip to Brixham and bottles of bubbles! All of the feedback we receive helps us to grow and … Continued
First of all, I should give the inside track on what Summerhouse is. Each year our General Managers and Head Chefs are set a series of targets and if they achieve them, a “little” educational trip is planned. So far Paris, Barcelona, Grenada, Cornwall and the Cotswolds have all had the unfortunate luck of having … Continued
