A New Chapter in Hospitality

Welcome to Kit and Cask: A New Chapter in Hospitality
Hospitality has always been more than just my career; it’s been my passion, my craft, and the lens through which I see the world. For over 20 years, I’ve worked across hotels, restaurants, whisky education, events, and leadership, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: great hospitality is about people and connection above all else.
That belief is at the heart of Kit and Cask.

About Me
I’m Steph Murray, the founder of Kit and Cask. My journey has taken me from boutique hotel management to developing whisky experiences, from leading teams to curating events that bring people together. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with inspiring colleagues, ambitious business owners, and communities who care deeply about service and storytelling.

Now, through Kit and Cask, I bring that experience together to support hospitality businesses that want to grow, adapt, and shine.

How I Can Help
Every hospitality business is unique. My role is to listen, understand what matters most to you, and work alongside you to unlock potential. Sometimes that means refining how a team works together, sometimes it’s about shaping a guest journey, and sometimes it’s simply having someone who’s walked the path before to offer clarity and perspective.

My goal is simple: to help you create a business that thrives. Not just today, but in the long term.

Let’s Connect
Hospitality is, at its core, about connection. So consider this an invitation: whether you’re running a boutique hotel, an ambitious restaurant, a whisky brand, or a community café, I’d love to hear your story.
