For the sixth year running Darlington’s organised another successful Barista competition for the staff of St. Austell Brewery’s managed houses. The competition was of the usual high standard, with first place going to Jurgen Bowering from the Pend-Olva Hotel, St Ives, who received the winner’s cup, £75 worth of High Street Vouchers and Barista kit worth over £150. Andy Robinson was close behind in second place, taking home £50 worth of vouchers and Dean Burgay took third place and £25 worth of vouchers.

It was a fantastic event and all competitors walked away with Darlington’s cups, goody-bags and bottles of wine.

We would like to thank all those who took part, as well as our partners on the day, La Spaziale and Beyond the Bean.
