MEET THE TEAM MONDAY // This week, meet our General Manager, Rob!
Rob is responsible for the day-to-day running of The Crown, making sure everything's seamless so we can deliver the very best experience for every guest.
When he's off the clock, you'll usually find him enjoying a Cruzcampo in the sunshine, perfectly paired with our bavette steak.

What does Rob love most about his role? The team he works alongside every day. Supporting them and working together to deliver outstanding guest service is what makes the job so rewarding.
