The Market Tavern in Hanley, which is the very first site of the Craft Union Pub Company, welcomed MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central, Jo Gideon recently. On her visit, she was able to see the enhancements made during the pub’s six-figure investment, which marked the anniversary of Craft Union’s seven years of trading, as well as finding out more about the pub’s offering.

Operator Simon Calvert, Natalie Bamford and the pub team warmly welcomed Jo into the community pub and were quick to show her around its new look and inform her of everything that was done during the significant investment by Craft Union. As well as the pub’s investment, Simon, Natalie and the team were able to tell Jo all about their community involvement and offer of great drinks and entertainment.

Ms Gideon was very keen to learn about the Craft Union Pub Company and learn how the pub embodies the company ethos and how the re-investment demonstrates Craft Union’s commitment to continually improve its site.

Jo was able to see a busy atmosphere on her visit, with the pub filled with customers having drinks and watching sports on the TVs. She was also keen to get involved with some of the pub’s activities including a go on the boxing machine.

Jo Gideon MP said: “Thank you to Simon, Natalie and the team at the Market Tavern, it was lovely to meet you all and visit your wonderful pub. The recent investment at the site has really given the pub a brilliant look and I can see how it has enhanced the customer experience. Simon, Natalie and the team are doing a great job at maintaining high standards and offering a space for everyone in Stoke-on-Trent. I look forward to my next visit and meeting with Simon and Natalie and wish them and the team all the best for the future.”

Simon commented: “It was lovely to have Ms Gidon come and visit us and see the pub’s new look following its significant investment. It was nice that Jo was able to see all of our amazing customers enjoying their time in our community hub and Natalie and I loved telling her about all that we do for them as well as local charities and causes. The Market Tavern is a pub for everyone, and our recent investment has really allowed us to connect with more individuals and bring them the greatest drinks and entertainment to enjoy.”

There’s not long to go until Christmas Day is here, but to celebrate the festive season at the Market Tavern, there will be live music throughout the day on Christmas Eve (24 December) and the pub will be open from 10am on Christmas Day to welcome anyone who would like to celebrate with Simon, Natalie and the team.
