An Introduction to Silo Lounge Bar & Restaurant's Team

Silo was established in 2004 and has built up a reputation for good food, good service and good times. The business is owner operated by Paul Davies, Mark Seery, Therese & David Cartwright. We are proud of the success we have created through hard work and a great team.

A good business in this industry means more than just what's on the plate or in the glass. Customers want good service, good food and beverage, recognition and a good time. They want these things every time they visit, and our success is built on customers who come back often and tell their friends.

A good business is also built on the satisfaction of the staff - our aim is to attract the best staff in the business and keep them for as long as we can through involving them in the business, paying them well, training them and giving them the chance to develop their skills and to grow as people. It also comes from operating a workplace where everyone has a fair go. We also want this to be a fun place to work, so you look forward to your shifts even if you know they will be busy!

We know that having good staff is essential if we are going to be successful in business. We are proud of our policy of equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination, and we actively work to give everyone the chance to do their best. Staff are all valuable to us whether they are senior or junior, male or female; and no matter what their national or racial origin, religion, sexual orientation or political beliefs are. Harassment of any type is absolutely forbidden.

Quality Policy:

Quality is our highest priority. Our quality policy aims to perform error-free work for our customers and get it right the first time. We will seek out and fully understand the requirements of each job and the systems used. We will follow those systems at all times and improve them if change is needed.

Silo believes in using the finest and freshest ingredients for our menu. David Cartwright, head chef and part owner, trained at Restaurant Balzac and sources the highest quality produce and ensures that all dishes are prepared from scratch using predominately French techniques.

Owner, bar manager Paul has an aim and vision for the bar and is as follows:
“The atmosphere of sitting in the bar at Silo will hopefully affect men and women in much the same way. It should invoke relaxation, invite depth of conversation and promote fellowship. It should encourage reflection. Silo is a little shelter from a world of fast, pre-mixed artificial tasting drinks. A lot of our cocktails are inspired by the time tested classics from the dawn of refined drinking. This naturally demands much more time, love and money but the customer I’m sure, appreciates the difference. I aim to offer a range of beverage products and services never before seen in Newcastle. A lot of the products I offer are exclusive to Silo and are sourced from Australia and all over the world. My goal is to educate. Educate staff and customers in the correct and dignified art of drinking alcohol. Our drinks are expensive, but they are worth every cent. Fine dining no longer has to be confined to a table and chair, these principles; I believe should be carried through to the bar to offer the customer drinking Nirvana.”
