It's Danny & Carly's Birthday! 🎈🎁🎈


This week, the Heifer Herd celebrated another TWO Birthday's!
It's been a moo-mentous occasion but both we're spoilt rotten! 

First up, we have our Restaurant Manager, Danny, who spent his birthday doing what he does best... working!
Thankfully, he wasn't empty-handed, with a homemade birthday cake to enjoy and a  voucher for his favourite restaurant. 😉🎂

And most of you will recognise our udderly fabulous Carly! ❤️ Our former Front of House Manager will always be part of the Heifer Herd
(and still pops back to help us out from time to time!).
This year, she got to spend her birthday on the other side of the bar for a change, relaxing and celebrating with us as a guest. 🍷✨

Please join us in wishing Danny and Carly a very Happy Birthday! 🎈🎁
