Bored of working in outdated, run-down pubs? Craving something more? No longer happy to accept anything less than the best?
We totally get that, and neither are we! We know our pubs are amongst the best and it’s only right that the people who work here are too!
Think.…. Goldfish bowls, rubber ducks, bathtubs, plant pots, bonbons, test tubes, candyfloss and dry ice, a huge range of unique and quirky cocktails ready for their ‘insta moment’. Over 100 bottled beers and ciders, 50 different soft drinks including all your staples, fruit juices, cordials, alcohol free range and even homemade lemonade topped with zesty lemon sorbet.
This isn’t just your standard local pub... Do you want in?

Driven by their vision to become the top leading pub brands in The Midlands, they’re passionate about finding superstars to live and breathe their values and ensure all guests are truly wowed by their Chilled Pub experience. With no signs of slowing down, Richard and Loren are always on the lookout for their next project and would like to reach a portfolio of 20 pubs in the near future.
