Tom meets trailblazing operators who are risking everything to redefine the British pub, while trying to navigate the cost-of-living crisis. They include siblings Josh and Holly Eggleton, who used the pandemic to refurbish their Somerset pub the Pony Chew Valley, and have reopened it as a restaurant, cookery school and wedding venue. But when Tom hears how much they are in debt he worries that the siblings have bitten off more than they can chew
