Running a pub as a single operator
"If you'd have told me 18 years ago that I'd still be here, I would have laughed!" smiles Alison. " But now, I can't imagine not being here!"
Justin & WayneThe Queens Head
We chat to Justin and Wayne about pub life, what it's like to own your own pub business and their plans for the future.
Justin and Wayne opened the doors to their new business venture in May 2019, when they took on The Queens Head in Little Eaton.
While Wayne’s background is musical, Justin had spent most of his working life running pubs and restaurants for other people and they decided it was time to take the next step and take on a pub business of their very own - something Justin had always dreamt of.
Two years on, we chat with Justin and Wayne, as they talk about pub life, why COVID hasn't stopped them from creating a great pub for their community and their plans for the future.
