Our Family
Executive Chef - Ben Gill
General Manager & Owner - Paul Neubauer
Paul was born in Fredrick, Maryland and graduated from Penn State University in 2000 with a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Science, and a minor in Forestry—obviously all necessary schooling for working at The Eddy. He started working at The Eddy in May of 2011 because it was close to home and offered a fun job as a bartender with no responsibilities once work was over. Today, working many more hours than when he was only bartending, Paul enjoys being a part of the Eddy family, leading teams and initiatives, helping the staff grow and develop as employees and more importantly, as people. His work at the pub continues to provide new and exciting challenges and enjoys the ever-changing aspects of restaurant work.
Paul became General Manager in the spring of 2014. He and his wife, Kim, have lived in Saxapahaw since 2007. When not at The Eddy he enjoys traveling, photography and running.

Claire Haslam and Doug Williams - Creators & Owners
One of their truly special babies, The Eddy Pub, takes shape from traditional European pubs that serve as a leveled, central, and neutral gathering ground for all inhabitants of its village. Its name came from inspiration from Doug’s father Eddie Williams (who is a real life and honest example of what it means to be in service to a community) and coupled with the meaning of an Eddy in the river (a current that goes against the main current, or a resting place in a river) gives so much inherent and immediate connection to this place. And much like Eddie’s role in his own rural community, The Eddy has carefully integrated many of his same relational and working values into its ways of operating - being in service to each other and honoring the unique gifts of our neighbor’s that we hope can give meaningful involvement and sustain this place long after us.
While these two often hangout in the wings, their commitment to and love for the Saxapahaw community runs deep. You can often see them eating at the bar and catching up with folks, walking and running on the trails, visiting with neighbors all over the village, or excitedly discussing the next little project or adventure. Feel free to say hi when you see them.
