Mark Pontin
Licensee of the Ship and Crown and the Crow's Nest |
|
When first leaving school Mark went to Merchant Navy Catering college in Graves End. On completion of his training he then went for the next two years and joined the QE2 as a waiter and travelled extensively around the world. After that, he did a 6 year stint in the Royal Navy before returning to work in Guernsey and take up his ambition of running the Ship and Crown which has been in his family for thirty years and was once run by his father Baron Pontin.
The Ship and Crown is one of the busiest pubs in Guernsey and Mark has run it for 17 years now. The newest addition to the building, the Crow's Nest, has always been a dream of Mark's as he has always wanted to have a restaurant above the Ship and Crown with views of the Channel Islands and a relaxed eating experience.
