Morrissey-Fox: What do you think?
The second part of Neil Morrisey's Risky Business screened last night on Channel 4 — and the Morning Advertiser would like to get your views on the show.
The show follows Morrissey and PubChef writer Richard Fox opening their own pub and micro-brewery, producing their own beer and then attempting to get it into every supermarket in the country.
In last night's episode, the pair completed on the Punch Bowl Inn at Marton cum Grafton in North Yorkshire and hosted their opening party.
The pair were beset by the bureaucracy of paperwork and in particular were heavily delayed by planning permission for the microbrewery.
The refurbishment of the pub also went down to the wire and the opening party left some locals disappointed as they were not invited.
However, Fox and Morrissey did lead a charm offensive by meeting with all the locals at the village hall to get them onside.
They also had to rely on a nearby micro-brewery to brew their first ale due to the planning permission problems.
What do you think of the show? Is it an accurate portrayal of starting up in a pub? Is it a good advert for the pub industry? Have you tried the Morrissey-Fox blonde ale or would you stock it? Do customers like it?
