What are Proper Pubs?
They are serious about pubs and obsessed with the local community.
Proper Pubs allows their community hero to showcase their talents in managing one of their community pubs. All of their pubs are run by someone who is passionate about putting something back into the community.
They have ambitious plans to grow Proper Pubs, engage with the community and create good times in all of their pubs. They are on a proper journey, and they would love for you to join them and run a pub.
At Proper Pubs, they run a series of national and local initiatives to support the communities they operate in. They are proud to support Chasing the Stigma, a national mental health charity that is committed to normalising mental health, and their Community Heroes love to support local initiatives, local people and use the pub to bring everyone together.
There is always something going on in a Proper Pub, and it usually involves the locals. They create a place for people to connect, socialise, and they support the local pub teams and offer traditional games. So like-minded customers can be found around all day.
