#002 David Sax - Maison Sax

David Sax left his safe career in finance to invest in his first venture, The Cow. It was an overnight success, later winning the highest pub accolade (think Oscar/Olympic Gold Medal rolled into one), National Pub of the Year. Then he had the likes of Guy Ritchie, Madonna and Jeremy Clarkson as his customers, when he took over another amazing pub, The Museum Inn.

Eventually David had to sell both, because up-to-18-hour days were taking their toll on his bank balance and his family. So why, oh why, is he coming back after a six-year break? Creating a café-bar-bistro hybrid, open from early morning to late at night? (More 18 hour days??) David says he might have a screw loose. You decide when you hear the rollercoaster story behind his latest venture Maison Sax...

#003 Joe Lovett - Bad Hand Coffee

In this episode we chat to Joe Lovett from Bad Hand coffee roasters in Bournemouth, Dorset. The conversation is very much in two halves, initially regaling Joe's journey and story and how an abandoned stable, brothel and crack den became his perfect home. We touch on plant powered diets, low commitment dining and confusing roasts with Sunday lunch! The 2nd half is more industry specific as Joe nails the reason for this podcasts existence and emphasises the financial challenges of hospitality and going in with your eyes wide open! Enjoy the conversation.
