Join us as we take a behind-the-scenes look at The Butcher’s Hook pub at The Triangle and speak to General Manager Ant James...

 In this 30-minute audio, we find out what goes into keeping the place running – well before the doors even open – and hear why Ant changed career from web development to the world of craft beer.

We also touch on the current state of the independent craft beer scene, and what he most enjoys about managing the pub.

And Ant talks us through some of the practical systems they’ve developed over the years – from stock control to staff management – to help keep things running smoothly in a very small space.
