The Great British Pub - with a twist!

The Lock In team take a look at the wide ranging cultural influences that are shaping the traditional pub environment from Irish bars to pubs with a Norwegian twist - what makes pubs such appealing melting pots?

The Irish pub is perhaps the oldest example of a pub with a twist, but how do you dodge being a dodgy theme pub? We met up with Windmill Tavern’s Johnny McElhinney to find out how. We also explored other cultural influences shaping the sector, speaking to Ayesha Kalaji from the Queen of Cups who’s brought a Jordanian flavour to her business. Scandi themes are also popular, so we caught up with Egil Johansen from the Kenton in Hackney to find out how he’s bringing a taste of home to London’s hip streets, and it’s not just a giant moose head either.

And we spoke to fantastic operator Keris De Villier who runs London pubs with a South African twist, and of course co-host Heath Ball was on hand to share his Australian cultural references as well....
