As part of our ongoing supplier appreciation, we want to introduce you to some of our local and brilliant suppliers. We sat down with Dave Byrne from Inn Express and asked a few questions…

Supplier Appreciation – Inn Express

‎ 

As part of our ongoing supplier appreciation, we caught up with Dave from Inn Express – one of the fine folks making sure your glass never runs dry and your back bar stays interesting.

‎ 

A little bit about Inn Express:

‎ 

We’re a proudly independent drinks wholesaler based in the Midlands, working with everyone from local pubs to Michelin-star restaurants. Our team is fuelled by coffee, curiosity and the constant pursuit of great drinks. We spend our days hunting out brilliant products, supporting independent venues and trying not to talk too much about hops at the dinner table.

‎ 

Why you like working with us at The Heyford:

The Heyford has that perfect mix of polish and personality. You care about the details – the service, the atmosphere, the presentation – but never lose sight of what really matters: people having a good time. It makes working together feel more like a partnership than a transaction (and your bar team actually reads the tasting notes, which we love).

Your favourite product (wine):

‎ 

Hard to choose just one, but today it’s Adele by Eric Texier. It’s Rhône by origin but modern in attitude – juicy, elegant and full of character. The kind of wine that makes you rethink what a “classic” can be… and then order a second glass just to be sure.
