'The secret to a good pub? Don't ignore the locals'

"We have a lovely chap who is around 80 who lost his wife during Covid and hasn't got any family. Every day he comes in and he has his own seat in his own little corner, we all go and chat with him - that might be the only face-to-face communication that he gets in a day, so it's so important to prioritise connections like that."The most important way to generate this atmosphere is to instil it in the pub staff, thinks Kidd.

You toss and turn, flipping the pillow over and over to try to find the cool side, coated in a sticky sheen of sweat. And the extra daylight is a mixed blessing, making it harder to drop off and trickier to stay asleep once we do. Light evenings tend to reset our body clock that’s located in our brain. Unfortunately, this is exactly the type we need to feel rested in the morning.
