2 Metres Apart

How are pubs in the UK responding to the lockdown?

Season 1, Ep. 1

In this episode I speak to Richard Stockdale, a landlord running the White Hart Inn, a country pub in Tetford, Lincolnshire. He also happens to be my Dad. In the last three weeks, he has converted the business from selling pints of alcohol to pints of milk by becoming a food and shopping delivery service. I discuss how he has found this process and his thoughts on how the pub industry will cope with the lockdown.
