High spirits and teamwork key to couple’s success

High spirits and teamwork key to couple’s success

Buying and renovating a pub may seem like a daunting prospect for some, but for husband and wife team Justin and Pippi it was a natural fit.

The pair has a background in importing new spirits to Australia, and he said there were some great options available at the pub, which you can’t find anywhere else in Australia.

“I look at brands that are big overseas, in London New York, Los Angeles, and the brands that you don’t get here, because they are dominated by big supply companies,” says Justin.

Justin, a designer and sometime builder, said renovating a hotel from the 1840s with so much history and character has been fun.

“It is a lot of work, but I enjoy it, I love the renovation, and I hope that everyone enjoys the oldest pub in the south of Sydney”

The renovation has included recycling the bricks, and putting some garden walls and keeping old school feel, keeping the old sleepers from the 1840s.

But the pub is anything but traditional.

On the 24th April, the pub’s kitchen will be hosting Charles from Chef’s Kitchen, whose burgers have been voted by the Fatty Burger Association as one of the best burger makers in Sydney.

There will be live band playing reggae themed music, with burgers matching the theme available from 12 midday.

“We are revamping the menu, and keeping it up to date, and changing it regularly,” says Pippi.

Owning a pub isn’t just sitting around drinking. There’s actually a lot of work involved.

“Justin does all the building, and I help out with all the social media, the marketing, the kitchen side and promotions, we work well in that regard,” says Pippi.

She says the key to success is teamwork  – “Obviously we do collaborate,” she says.
