Kevin Buckle.
Maitre’D
Kevin Buckle has been one of Warrenmang's greatest assets for 16 years, and in the words of recent Swedish guests at Warrenmang on NYE 2008 "he makes the place!") Kevin has worked with various members of the Bazzani family since time immemorial... he worked with Paola Bazzani (Luigi's sister) and Mario (Luigi's brother) in their Melbourne restaurants in the 80's. He also worked with Luigi and Athalie for several years at their famous La Scala Restaurant in Ballarat. Kevin is a very important part of the Warrenmang family and well known for his wicked sense of humour... (we had to ask Kevin to wear a nametag recently to deter him from telling guests he was ‘Luigi” – it was all very confusing for our patrons unfamiliar with Kevin’s little jokes. He loves to share his humour with our guests as he offers them his personal brand of excellent service, combined with his trademark laugh which can be always be heard around the resort.
