Publicans: should add their Pub – at no charge.

The site aims to be both serious and fun: videos and features will add to the news, information and entertainment that make Pubs a great British treasure that should be celebrated. In the words of founder, Philip Porter:

“So, how do we encourage the celebration of British pubs? First, create a website – nothing clever about that. It’s the obvious starting point today. But it has to be better than the rest and be more than a hobby. It has to get serious. So, it needs lots of content, helpful information and video content, as well as GPS for finding pubs. It needs to inform and entertain, so people return to the site and the pub world wants to work with us on this. So, we need pub videos and programmes that fulfil those criteria. We already have a few and the number will grow.”

The British Pub is certainly an important part of our heritage, one that is valued by visitors as well as locals, and one that needs all the help it can get to ensure its future. H & C News looks forward to seeing more of the initiatives promised by Pub Channel, and to charting their impact on pubs and pub visitors.
