00:00So basically I've been running a pub in Crover for the last six and a half years, we were

00:05looking to expand. My mum lives down in Bexhill so we spent a lot of time down here, dining,

00:13socialising and this popped up online and the building is just fantastic. You've got

00:19this lovely bar here, we've made a galley kitchen in the back so we can get up and running

00:24straight away. Upstairs there's going to be a gorgeous dining room that overlooks onto

00:29the road that Rock and Coral will be launching in the new year. It's going to be small plates,

00:35everything's local produce using local suppliers. We are so passionate about food and what we

00:40do and we can't wait to introduce it to everyone in Bexhill. So my husband Jordan, he's got

00:46a fantastic background in the catering industry as well. He's been helping me launch the menu

00:51at the Blue Anchor in Crover, working for different places in the area. Will, our sous

00:56chef, is going to be head chef here as well. He's been working at the Beacon, he's worked

00:59for me for years in the past as well. So it's nice having a team that's not more than a

01:04team, it's a family environment here. One of the biggest things we've done in Crover

01:08is make the pub a family. From the staff to the locals, I've got to know it isn't just

01:13a pub, you're part of someone's group as well now, whether you're their extra grandchild,

01:19daughter, it's nice to be included in them, included in our lives and that's definitely

01:23something we want to bring down here, being part of the community. All are welcome, dogs,

01:29children, it's so important that we can bring our furry friends and children along to experience

01:35that nice community feel in a pub these days.
