Time at the Bar – Jasmine Bouyer, Equal Parts

Equal Parts in Hackney has built a reputation for sharp drinks and a bar people want to come back to. In this episode of TIME AT THE BAR, Campari Academy’s Tristram Fini sits down with Jasmine Bouyer to talk about the people and mindset shaping her approach behind the bar.

Jasmine’s perspective is shaped by the women who inspire her in hospitality. It’s not just about what’s in the glass, but how you show up for guests and for each other, every shift.

At Equal Parts, that shows up in the details. Remembering names. Knowing how someone takes their drink. Creating a space where regulars feel recognised and new guests feel like they belong. It’s a balance of warmth and professionalism that defines the bar.

Her approach to drinks is equally focused. Simple, minimal and precise. When there’s nowhere to hide, consistency matters.

What comes through most clearly is a new generation shaping what great hospitality looks like. Built on people, energy and showing up properly, every time.
