Since moving to Somerset 10 years ago, I have been heading to the Beckford Inn’s in search of satiating that sense of true countryside; Heartening red wine, tasty food, cosy fires and those interiors that makes you feel like you’re back where you belong.

Witnessing more pubs open by The Beckford Group over the years, it’s clear that they have a knack for knowing when it’s right, and an eye for how to do it well. And of course, there’s Bramley, the bath and body brand, and perfect sister brand, with 23 products on offer as well as a treatment cabin ay their Longleat site, The Bath Bath Arms!

Having spent a lot of my annual income in one or another of their pubs, I was excited to meet the brains. We talk about values, when to think when thinking’s too much, we talk about community, connection and also the role a pub has in our villages. We also have a laugh especially when I embarrass myself half way through…..

So today, I welcome co-founder Dan Brod and founder of Bramley, Chloe Luxton.
