Show Notes

The pub sector is continually evolving, and this episode of the podcast looks at operators that are doing things a little differently, from embracing the opportunities of being a film venue, like Main Arthur of the White Cross in Groeswen to opening a school at The Swan in Clewer.

We spoke to The Swan's GM, Micky Foden-Andrews about the advantages of having cheap labour students working in a pub.

We also hear from Pub is the Hub CEO John Longden about how they're helping the sector to thrive, without installing hot-tubs, and we hear from Anthony Christopher who's turned his love of cooking and animals (not cooking the animals) into a pub with a zoo at The Penycae Inn near Swansea.
