What Would Dennis Think?
Who is Dennis?
Dennis Faulkner
Dennis first started coming into The Bulls Head at Repton at the ripe old age of 79 and had a huge and lasting impact on our pub and our business.
He was a guest, who became a regular and then became a very dear friend.
He was always immaculately dressed in a smart suit, freshly pressed shirt and tie. He came and sat at the bar with his warm and friendly smile and wonderful laugh and quickly endeared himself to all of the team. He would arrive at 4.15pm every afternoon in his little silver Micra and had a pint of Pedigree watered down with lemonade.
But he wasn’t just coming for the beer. Dennis was coming to our pub for the companionship and the chat.
He lived on his own and had no family. He soon became a firm favourite with the team and he had such warmth about him that guests and team were drawn to him. Everyone wanted to say ‘hello’ and have a chat with Dennis. He had a natural ability to bring people together.
He naturally embodied all of our Chilled Values and genuinely lived them every day. He is our role model at Chilled Pubs.
Dennis was always immaculately dressed, had a real eye for detail. From his vantage point at the bar he kept the team on their toes to ensure that we had WOW standards in the pub insisting on shiny beer pumps, a clean bar, sparkling glasses, the fire always lit and he ensured that everyone got served in the correct order. Dennis encouraged everyone to think of new ways to WOW our guests as he really understood great service.
He was the epitome of ‘warm and friendly’. We welcomed everyone into our pub as if it were his home and always made bee line to speak to any guests who might be on their own.
He was a very principled man with great morals, and sound judgement. He would always know how and when to ‘do the right thing.’ He treated everyone with respect and questioned any behaviour which was inconsistent with our values.
He had a natural ability to bring people ‘together’ and did so on a daily basis. Our guests travelled for miles just to chat to Dennis. His Birthday parties at the pub were legendary and brought guests from far and wide. Posts about Dennis on Facebook immediately attracted thousands of likes.
When he sadly passed away, aged 91 over 100 people attended his funeral, and they were mostly guests from our pubs and members of our team (both past and present.). So Dennis continued to bring people together right until the end of his life.
We keep his memory alive in our values.
