Step Behind Some of Britain’s Most Interesting Bars with the New Vodcast from HEINEKEN SmartDispense®

Ever felt like the only one who truly understands the graft behind running a pub? You’re not alone — and now there’s a vodcast series that lifts the lid on the realities of being a publican today and how to succeed under increasingly tough trading conditions.

Three Landlords Walk into a Bar, hosted by publican and former model Jodie Kidd and Channel 4’s First Dates barman and landlord in his own right, Merlin Griffiths, sets out to better understand why ‘the local’ is such a cornerstone of British communities.

The series launches off the back of research that demonstrates just how important pubs and landlords are to Brits with 98% of people seeing the pub as the heart of their communities and three quarters (75%) classing the landlord of their local as a mate.
