Pubs have been a cornerstone of our local communities for centuries, offering a place
00:12
for people to meet together and socialise, as well as providing thousands of jobs and
00:16
a cornerstone of the local economy. Here we go behind the bar to meet the people who run
00:21
our pubs and say why it's important for you to love your local.
00:24
Hi I'm Michael, I'm the owner of Junction Bar on Chatsworth Road in Brampton.
00:28
How long have you been at the pub?
00:31
So we've been open here coming up on our 8th birthday this November, so yeah, 8 years we've been here now.
00:37
We've got about 20 staff working for us here, we've got another venue in Claycross as well,
00:42
some staff, so some work across both venues.
00:45
What's the favourite drink that you sell?
00:47
Our most popular drinks probably are cocktails, we do a lot of, sort of, the biggest ones
00:52
at the minute for us is Cruz Campo, Moretti, we sell a lot of Pornstar martinis, Aperol Spritz,
00:57
those sort of things. So we've got a vast range, we've got real ales on as well,
01:01
free rotating lines, we do a couple of craft lines.
01:04
We've also just released our own Junction Lager in collaboration with Purity Brewing,
01:09
so that's proven quite popular, 4% easy sort of session lager.
01:13
So yeah, we serve a little bit of food, Monday to Friday lunchtime, 11am till 3pm,
01:18
and then during the summer we do alternate Thursdays, so we do Boards and Bears,
01:22
which is sort of sharing boars and fries and wings, and then the other Thursday,
01:26
Mammo's Pizza's joining us from 5pm in the garden, so that proves really popular on a Thursday night.
01:32
I think we pride ourselves on the level of customer service we provide,
01:37
that's always something we've sort of drilled into staff from the beginning,
01:41
that's what we feel sets us apart.
01:43
We just have a great team, the team morale here is brilliant,
01:46
everyone just works together, it's just a great team.
01:49
Do you have any future plans?
01:52
Not at the minute, always keeping our eye out for something,
01:55
but if something's around the corner, who knows,
01:57
but we're not actively looking for anything at the moment.
01:59
You don't have any events going up in the near future?
02:02
We've always got stuff going on, so we've always got music on every Saturday,
02:06
we have singers on every Sunday, we've got a Pride event coming up,
02:10
celebrating Pride Month in July, so we've got a drag queen on.
02:14
We've got all sorts going on throughout the year, it's just a case of keeping an eye on socials.
