Saving the British Pubs (and a Brewery) one at a time…
Greetings, This time I am glad to offer some hope after the last diatribe on the “death” of the British Public House. I offer the following as rays of hope… Comedy star’s serious mission to rescue village pub
“When he opens his pub serving fine food and drink later this year, actor Neil Morrissey, will be hoping there will be no men behaving badly at the prestigious event.” “The voice of Bob The Builder, along with friend Richard Fox, is buying a North Yorkshire village pub and between them they aim to renovate and transform the establishment.”
Offering something unique is also a strategy. Welcome to the Halal Inn: Britain's first alcohol-free Islamic pubLast updated at 00:22am on 12.04.08 “There are bar snacks, quiz nights, snooker tables and blaring music. But if you fancy a beer you've come to the wrong pub. The Halal Inn is open for non-alcoholic business only. The country's first Islamic pub opened last December in Oldham and although trade is not exactly roaring, it is purring along. “
The brewing news is good for the fine folks of Scotland as well…
Published: 15th Apr 2008 Author: Emma Eversham “Scotland's Harviestoun Brewery is set to remain independent after being whisked from the jaws of Scottish & Newcastle.” “Founding shareholders Sandy Orr and Donald MacDonald have teamed up with fellow shareholder Stephen Crawley to buy the Harviestoun micro-brewery from the Caledonian Brewing Company.”
And I hope to post more evidence that the British Pub continues its fight to survive!
Cheers!! Peter LaFrance
