FORGET THE CLICHÉS - GLASGOW'S ANTI-VALENTINE'S PARTY WAS AS FIERY AS YOUR EX'S TEXTS 🔥💔 Fuelled by Bacardi, MONTZI Mountain Spirits, and Rooster Rojo Tequila, we brought the heat with fire breathers, Scottish comedians, a live photo booth dishing out REAL relationship advice, and ex-inspired cocktails named by the public 🚩 RED FLAG – Red chili-infused Rooster Rojo Blanco Tequila, Cointreau garnished with a Sriracha rim and chili. This one delivers a fiery kick that's as hard to ignore as your ex’s warning signs 💀 TOXIC WASTE – Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum, blue curaçao, Chambord, Stoli® Vodka, and a splash of citrus, topped with a grenadine drizzle. Just like your ex – sweet at first, then a total meltdown 😏 SHE’S JUST A FRIEND – Things are getting suspiciously fruity with Bacardi Spiced Rum, MONTZI Sour Cherry Aperitivo, Chambord, cranberry juice and grenadine, all finished with a fizzy cherry on top. Because when they say, "She's just a friend”, it leaves a sour taste Big thanks to our Glasgow team, bartenders, chefs, marketing and Lewis Ellis who sure know how to put on a good night! #AntiValentinesDay #Bacardi #Montzi #RoosterRojo #CocktailCulture #ThirstyEx #CheersToFreedom #ValentinesDay Laura Cowan Murray Mclure Rhiannon Scarlett Isabel Carter David Wallace Mark McGettigan Lewis Ellis Ambev Abi Ball Sophie McKenna James Scaife 📽️ Courtesy of Maximising Medias, Scotland

This week our Exec Operations Chef Boban Thomas visited our Stoke store and sat down with Rhiannon the Kitchen Manager. Rhiannon is a prime example of internal development and has grown her career since joining us - Boban also recognised her excellent food standards and food quality too 👏 Below is an insight to Rhiannon & her time at TGI Fridays Boban: What made you choose a career in culinary? Rhiannon: Cooking runs in my family; my mom used to be a chef. Cooking has been a passion for me since school. It's one of my favourite things to do. Boban: How would you describe TGI Fridays? Rhiannon: I love what we stand for. There's a lot of heritage and a family connection. I appreciate that we nurture and develop people from within. I love all the Brand Theories because there's a story behind them that inspires people. The TGI uniform stands out in the industry, and I love the pins we get as part of the recognition. And, of course, I love TGI food. Boban: How would you describe your management team? Rhiannon: My GM, Liam, is very supportive and helpful. My operations manager always appreciates my work and praises my burger cooking. Boban: How would you describe your team? Rhiannon: I have a young kitchen team, and they always want to do their best. The store team is cooperative and fun to work with. Boban: What’s the most important element when heading a kitchen team? Rhiannon: Kitchen service depends on the trade of the business. Communication is the most important element; it's a two-way process that helps navigate through any challenges. Boban: Outside of working in the kitchen, what other areas do you love and follow?
