So we're here at the Five Ways Inn and introduce yourselves guys.
00:11
Hi, I'm Kevin Steadman.
00:13
Hi, I'm Donna Steadman.
00:15
So you're the new helm at the ship.
00:19
That's it.
00:21
So if people haven't been to the Five Ways Inn, just tell us about it.
00:25
Well, it's a local friendly pub, local beers and obviously foreign beers.
00:33
You'll have a friendly atmosphere, singers, food.
00:37
Do you have entertainment on then?
00:39
There's going to be entertainment on as well, yeah.
00:41
And what sort of food is it going to be?
00:43
Just basic point of points, paninis and things like that.
00:45
In the next coming months.
00:47
In the next few months, not just yet.
00:49
Dog friendly.
00:51
Yeah.
00:53
And what's this loyalty card I see a sign for?
00:55
What's all that about?
00:57
Yes, you get ten pence back in the pound.
00:59
Yeah.
01:01
And then you save it up.
01:03
As and when you want it.
01:05
So what was it that made you want to take on a pub then?
01:09
I don't know.
01:11
I think we was asked.
01:13
We used the pub.
01:15
We were customers.
01:17
We was asked to give it a try.
01:19
Never done it before.
01:21
And you thought, I fancy a new challenge.
01:23
And we're from Bournemouth.
01:25
So it's nice to keep the pubs open really.
01:27
Because it was on the verge of shutting.
01:29
So we decided to take it on.
01:31
So you've literally only just took over, haven't you?
01:33
Yeah.
01:35
Just over a week, yeah.
01:37
So you're up and running?
01:39
Fully up and running, yeah.
01:41
And how have you been finding it then?
01:43
Kind of been the opposite side of it?
01:45
I did work here before, last year.
01:47
For a few hours.
01:49
To help the last manager out.
01:51
It's a lot harder.
01:53
When you're coming into Cleve.
01:55
It's a nice thing.
01:57
Trying to build the business up.
01:59
It's lovely, isn't it?
02:01
It's got that proper nice, the old charm of a proper pub, hasn't it?
02:03
Which sadly, we're losing a lot, isn't it really?
02:05
Absolutely, yeah.
02:07
We're losing a lot.
02:09
We're losing a lot.
02:11
We're losing a lot.
02:13
We're losing a lot, isn't it really?
02:15
Absolutely, yeah.
02:17
We're having a paint over.
02:19
Yeah, we're having a repaint in places.
02:21
Just to brighten it up.
02:23
They've been up the big lights.
02:25
We've had all new seating.
02:27
Seating put in on the back and the front.
02:29
Yeah.
02:31
And if people aren't massively familiar,
02:33
it's the junction just down from Imly Hall, isn't it?
02:35
Opposite the old Bull's Head pub.
02:37
That's where you are.
02:39
It also goes down as the Widders.
02:41
I don't know why that is,
02:43
but a lot of people know it as the Widders.
02:45
Yeah, yeah.
02:47
Well, we wish you all the best, guys.
02:49
You've got a fantastic little pub here,
02:51
so let's just hope that the tills can be ringing.
02:53
Let's hope so. Thank you.
