Hello, I'm Lyam.
I was born in Singapore, my mother is South African and my father is British but I've grown up in France. I have a passion for service and entertainment. And really enjoy a good Margarita ! Cheers !
I have been working as a bartender for 3 years now. In the beginning, I worked very basic jobs to gain experience behind a bar and get a feel for the hospitality environment. Learning the basics, such as beer pouring methods, interaction with the customer, stock, cash up, service... After just under a year, I challenged myself to bigger opportunities and move to Cape Town to discover the Hospitality and Bartending scene. I worked in establishments such as five star hotel bars, award winning hotel bars and award nominated cocktail bars.
