00:00 Well here we are at Pitchers, a new bar in Fleetwood with Daniel and Stephen.
00:04 So how's it been going? It's been good yeah, we've had our busy periods and we can't complain really.
00:11 We're really team minded, putting back in what should really be put back in because sometimes you know
00:18 everybody needs a bit more community spirit and this is what we aim to do.
00:23 Helping each other, supporting local businesses, supporting various charities. We just want to give back.
00:31 We've had a lot of support.
00:34 You're trained in various things, I believe that you've been a joiner yourself?
00:39 I have yeah, I did joinery and then obviously there wasn't much work and that so I ended up in the bar trade when I was younger.
00:46 And ever since then I've been in for a few years now so I've done bartending. It's in my blood as such so I enjoy it.
00:54 I enjoy people, you know just having a chat and that's what we wanted as well.
00:58 You know a bar that somebody could talk to you instead of having to shout at you or shout over the bar, that's what we wanted.
01:04 It's doing really well, what is it about micro bars that's so popular do you think at the moment?
01:09 I think it's more to do with the fact as I say because we're a smaller bar we're not
01:14 accommodating for loads of people and like the bigger bars obviously you've got your pubs and
01:20 stuff they're a bit louder and people just speak over people but here you can just relax, have a
01:25 drink and not have to worry about anything and enjoy your day.
01:28 Micro bars are pretty much what people are expecting, I should say quieter.
01:37 It's more on a human scale, it's more intimate I suppose.
01:40 It is, it is and with such, well you've been close proximity to one another and it just for me
01:51 personally having that it brings people more together forming friendships easily whereas
01:57 you're not climbing over people get to a bar or go to speak to somebody you're there.
02:03 And people seem to like that, that's what they want at the moment I think.
02:06 Yeah brilliant so where are you? You're on Lord Street, what's the address?
02:11 196 Lord Street.
02:12 Okay in Fleetwood.
02:14 In Fleetwood, yes.
02:15 All right all the best, well done.
02:16 Thank you very much.
02:17 - Thanks very much. - Thanks.
