“We are extremely pleased and extremely grateful for all of the support that we continue to receive from all of our customers.

“I consider us extremely lucky as I do feel sorry for a lot of people who perhaps hadn’t been going quite so long as us and fell to the affects of Covid much more strongly and businesses have been impacted a lot more than ours have.

“It is still quite hard out there and a lot of people are still being impacted physically, mentally, and financially, so I think any good news at the moment for anybody is gratefully received, and a little bit of cheer at the moment, no matter what you do or what your job is, is great.”

“After an awful 18 months for the hospitality sector, the pub industry has had to adapt and change its way of working, jumping over various hurdles in the meantime.

“Now it’s brilliant to see so many establishments thriving again and customers able to enjoy the safe haven of a quintessential British pub to enjoy high quality food and drink.”
