Head Barista Nottingham, England
Job description
BEAR serves speciality coffee, brunch, cocktails & craft beer in beautifully thought out spaces.
Our History
The story of BEAR starts with two best buds: Craig and Michael. The pair grew up together, copied each other’s work at school, and spent most of their teenage years trying to out-skill each other on their skateboards. Fast forward to adulthood - Craig spent some time travelling around Australia and fell in love with the all-day coffee, cocktails & dining scene over there.
After Craig returned to the UK, he decided that he wanted to bring some of that fabulous coffee culture to his hometown of Uttoxeter and so recruited the help of his pal, Michael, to get things off the ground. Craig & Michael got their heads together and set about researching the market, learning all they could and developing new skills with a view to create something super special.
In February 2016, BEAR Uttoxeter opened its doors and has been the busiest coffee spot in town ever since. Following the success of store number 1, the BEAR concept has grown to span across the midlands and beyond.
