“My company has worked with Stonegate Group for about 9 years now; we started with a tenancy which due to its success, progressed to a free of tie. We’ve now successfully ran the Ferry Boat under a free of tie for about 4 years. The thing we like best about working with Stonegate on a free of tie basis, is that we get to make our own decisions as a business. There is no input from our Estates Manager, which means we’re left to run our business in a way that works best for us.”

The best thing about running a pub will probably be that you're your own boss. You get out of what you put into it. I'm kind of quite experienced and my advice would be that if you want to do well, you just need to work hard and love people.

"I started working for Craft Union on the 6th June 2019 and I haven't looked back since. My partner and I have over a 100yrs experience in the pub trade between us and this is by far the best journey; with the Craft Union values here to support us and the local community in every way you could think of. From raising money, helping to host fundraising events, to good value for money, and experience for the customers. It has been a fantastic roller coaster ride with all the support and advice anyone could possibly imagine from all the Crafty family. "

My Stonegate area managers have all been amazing. They help you to drive your business. If you've got any queries, if you've got a problem they're there to help you. I'm learning new things all the time. Stock take, computer things. It's not just a face behind the bar, it's the other things, and you get training for that as well.

"We took on the pub in November 2020 as our first venture in to the pub industry. Since then we have built our own community of new customers from working with our Regional Manager and sharing best practice to create activities and ideas that support a community pub. Through the Publican Channel, Stonegate have supported us with access to lots of marketing collateral to help promote pub activities alongside national promotions. This year we were encouraged to enter the Stonegate Pub Awards and have made it to the final, naturally we are extremely proud of this achievement."
