00:00What's it feel like having the Coca-Cola truck land here at the British Oak pub?
00:07This is amazing. If anything screams Christmas it is the Coca-Cola truck and it was just fantastic to be able to bring the Coca-Cola truck to the community and make this all about the community, raising charity money for the community, donations for the food bank as well and just making everybody feel like it's Christmas.
00:24How did it all come about?
00:27Craft Union and Coca-Cola partnership together and we were fortunate enough to be lucky enough to get the pub here at the British Oak in Tingley. Obviously there are so many other pubs. Craft Union is nationwide and there are pubs up and down the country who didn't get the Coca-Cola truck and we got it here in Tingley, Wakefield just for you guys.
00:52How important is it for the community because there seems quite a buzz at the moment?
00:57Yes it's really important because it's Christmas. Christmas isn't just about buying presents, it's about getting together as a community and feeling like we're all family because that's what we are, we're a community of dogs and that's what we need day in day out is to make you feel like you're at home, that you can just come here if you need to have a chat, if you need to have a go from your work day or you just want to see some friends and have a good time that's what we're here for and this today just brings the community together and makes everybody feel a little bit more Christmassy.
01:26As well as raising money for Great Cause and also making awareness for all the other things that we're doing and W3K is doing and the things that are made in Craft Union that people don't know about as well. A lot of our pubs raise money for Great Causes up and down the country and we just want to raise some awareness that everyone's got to join in and help and bring everyone together and that's what this is all about.
01:50And what does the British Oak offer at Christmas, what does it feel like here?
01:56It feels like home and that's what we want it to feel like, we want it to feel like home and have a really nice time, we want it to be warm and friendly and welcoming and we want it to feel like you're welcome and that's what we are, we're a welcoming pub and we want to raise awareness for all the charities that we do and we just want you to know that no matter who you are people can come in and have a good time.
