When it comes to pubs in the city centre, there is no shortage of places to go. However, it takes a truly great pub to not only draw drinks further out of the city centre but also up a hill but the Lincolnshire Poacher has managed to do just that since the late 1980s.
John Slee is the manager of the Poacher. He says the secret to the success of the place can be found in its consistency and also good beer selection Supervisor Siobhan Harris has been working at the Poacher for ten years. She says the Poacher was a lifeline for her when she relocated from London. "I saw a frienzed conversation taking place over the phone with a regular. The night before, one of the regulars had had a stroke and hadn't returned home. So the barman rang all the hospitals in Nottingham to find him and when he did, he then phoned a taxi. He called the man's wife and said he had called a taxi for them both to go to the hospital to visit him. I wanted to be a part of a community thing like that as I thought it was amazing.
For manager John, the pub has provided more than just a workplace but has become part of his life story as it was the venue for his wedding.
