Trent Bridge bar raises a glass to its new manager
Dan Warren (pictured), the 28- year-old who recently finished second in a worldwide bartending event, has been appointed Bar Manager for Six; the new restaurant and bar at Trent Bridge. Dan represented the United Kingdom at the Diageo Reserve World Class Bartending Championships in Berlin in October 2018, finishing second overall. It ultimately meant that Dan,
who was the fastest bartender on show having produced ten drinks in four-and-a-half minutes, finished second out of a field of 10,000. “This appointment is in-keeping
with our intention to provide opportunities to talented individuals with strong ties to Nottinghamshire,” said the club’s Commercial Director Michael Temple. “Dan’s expertise and the
renowned flair with which he carries out his role will provide our guests with a real talking point. “He has started by crafting a list
‘This is an exciting project and one where I can focus on raising the profile of the hospitality industry in the Midlands’
of 18 cocktails on the premise that they are all spirits with a story, featuring local ingredients.” Nottinghamshire County Cricket
Club commissioned the sixth-floor restaurant with panoramic views over Nottingham and West Bridgford as part of a multi-million-
pound redevelopment of the media centre in the Radcliffe Road Stand. The new restaurant, named Six
as a nod to the cricketing backdrop and its sixth-floor location, has now been completed and hosted its first events prior to the start of the 2019 cricket season. “This is an exciting project and
one where I can focus on raising the profile of the hospitality industry in the Midlands and on putting all my efforts into making Nottingham a premier destination,” said Dan. “I've spent the best part of the
past ten years travelling, working and learning in different countries and gaining experience at some of my favourite bars in the world, including the highly acclaimed American Bar at the Savoy and 18o6 in Melbourne. “Now I’m looking forward to
making my mark where I grew up in Nottingham, showing why it’s an incredible city that breeds some of the best bartenders in the UK, and helping to raise the bar for the hospitality industry in general. “I focus on local produce and
sustainable practices, using seasonal British ingredients in my cocktails, and I try to incorporate many of the same methods and techniques you’d expect to see from the world’s best chefs.”
Superstars of music to take to festival stage
Two of the world's biggest artists, Rita Ora and Rudimental, will headline the first ever Derby Sound Festival at The Pattonair County Ground this summer, on Saturday 3 August. The one-day festival, presented
by D-Hive, is the biggest of its kind in the city and brings together two giants of pop music, alongside The Vamps and X-Factor winners, Rak- Su.
Rudimental have sold over 20
million singles, while Rita Ora currently holds the UK chart record for the most Top 10 singles by a UK female artist, and both are set to perform in front of a capacity crowd in the heart of Derby this summer. Ryan Duckett, Chief Executive of
Derbyshire County Cricket Club, said: “Following the success of the
8 business network May 2019
Rita Ora (top) and Rudimental are set to headline Derby Sound Festival
concerts we have hosted over the past few years, the club is delighted to be able to host another major music event at the Pattonair County Ground this summer.
“Rudimental, Rita Ora, The
Vamps and Rak-Su all have a huge following, and I am sure it will be another great event for the city and the wider region.”
Andrew Bowley, Commercial Manager of D-Hive, said: “We're pleased to have started what we hope to be a long partnership with Derbyshire County Cricket Club.”
