🚁🍺 BREAKING: We’ve officially upgraded our beer delivery fleet…

Forget vans. Forget drivers.
We’re now delivering pints by HELICOPTER. Nationwide. Direct to your garden. No landing fees (yet 😉).

Kegs landing faster than your last Uber Eats.
Neighbours confused. Dogs barking. Pints flowing.

But here’s the real twist… 👀
While everyone’s watching the skies, we’ve been quietly building something on the ground…

🔥 Our Crafty Loyalty Membership App is about to drop.
Think:
• Exclusive member-only deals 🍻
• Priority access to events & launches 🎟️
• Rewards that actually feel like rewards 💰
• And yes… maybe even faster beer than helicopters 😉

So tell us…
👇 If we did deliver by helicopter, where’s your drop zone?
Tag your mates who’d be first in line 🍺

⚠️ P.S. Helicopter delivery might be an April Fools…
But the app? That’s very, very real.

𝗘𝗹𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗼 — 𝟭𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

10 Years of Crafty.
From one pub to a growing group built on community, character and commercial edge.

We took a simple belief — pubs should be social hubs, not just drinking venues — and turned it into a scalable model.

No gimmicks.
No corporate head office culture.
Just atmosphere, value and loyal regulars.
We’ve evolved, adapted margins, rethought food models, launched membership ideas and leaned into what actually works on the ground.

The Crafty Pub Group isn’t just about pints.
It’s about people.
Ten years in and we’re still hungry.

Here’s to bigger volumes, smarter systems and stronger communities over the next decade.

The Crafty Baron of Hinckley has entered a new era!
After nearly a decade of hands-on experience operating this iconic former Wetherspoon venue, we’ve officially retaken the reins and stepped back in to do what we do best — run great pubs properly.

This site is now:
✅ Fully stocked
✅ Fully compliant
✅ Professionally operated
✅ Backed by experienced hospitality owners
✅ All of the original, much-loved team back — supported and valued ❤️

And we didn’t come back quietly...

What’s new?
🍻 Sharp pricing, strong promos, proper pours
🎱 4 brand-new pool tables
🎧A proactive mix of entertainment
🎯 State-of-the-art darts lane
⚽ Multi Screen televised sports
🕹️ Retro arcade games
🎶 Big vibes, live energy, no shortcuts
🥊 One of the best boxer machines around

This isn’t a relaunch — it’s a reset.
A fresh operating model.
A serious commitment to quality.
A pub run by people who actually care.
Hinckley deserves better — and that’s exactly what we’re delivering in the heart of the town centre
👉 Forget the past few weeks!
👉🏽 Back the pioneers.
👉🏼Game on.











***A WORD ABOUT THE CURIOSITY THAT GOT THE CAT

A WORD ON WHY THIS MATTERS
Behind the scenes, the last few weeks have been incredibly challenging — especially for staff, suppliers, and those who rely on this venue.
Over the Christmas period in particular, people were left facing uncertainty, broken commitments, and unpaid wages. That is never acceptable — in hospitality or anywhere else.
This repossession was not taken lightly.
It was necessary to restore stability, protect the team, safeguard the premises licence and investment, and ensure the venue is operated responsibly — for staff, suppliers, and the wider community.
Going forward, our commitment is simple:
✔️ People are paid properly and on time
✔️ Compliance is non-negotiable
✔️ Trust is rebuilt through action, not words
This pub exists because of its people.
That’s what we’re here to put right.

With love ❤️
The CBH Team
