Running any business is tough. Running a hospitality business is very tough. Running a hospitality business on your own is really bloody very tough.
You get the jist?
Luckily my children are always on hand to help out if needed, and it makes a world of difference and makes Bethnal&Bec a true family business. The 3 spa cabins are built from the old dilapidated stables in our home. The children, now 14, 18 & 21 have grown up in the 11 years since the idea was first hatched.
For example Felix, has just returned from a summer in the USA working as a camp counsellor, still horrendously jet-lagged and with amazing A-Levels including 2 A*'s in Biology and Chemistry.... yet he thinks nothing of helping me for 5 hours do all the turnovers. Headphones on, singing his little heart out.... and what a voice. Seriously, he has gigged previously, and is available for weddings, Christmas work parties, pubs etc.
What's my point I hear you scream out🤣
... I'm not sure there is one, but just wanted to shout out my team, who are my kids, who are my family. They are bloody ace, and help make Bethnal&Bec an amazing place for so many guests.
