Working together when you’re a couple is a real skill and we profile eight couples that lift the lid on how they’ve mastered it…and today’s the turn of IAIN AND FIONA DEMPSTER, of The Horseshoe Inn, Peebles.
Iain and Fiona Dempster have been the couple behind The Horseshoe Inn, Peebles since May last year and they ran the nearby Leadburn Inn for five years before that. So, who dos what and how do they dovetail together?
Said Iain, “Things work because I obey my wife. But seriously, we share a love of rock music and get on very well and also share a passion for customer service and for maintaining high standards. Fi is more front of house, partly because of her customer-focused experience with Cunard – she worked on the QE2! I’m more back of house and the books.”
They first met when Iain ran Bar Sirius in Leith.
