From cooking in the Navy to running some of the country’s most iconic pubs, Jamie Gannon has carved out a career built on grit, integrity, and unshakable leadership. In this episode, Jamie reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his culinary journey — from the discipline of military kitchens to the heart and hustle of the Australian pub scene. We delve into what it truly takes to lead a kitchen team, the challenges of shifting industry culture, and how Jamie has reinvented himself in the media space while staying true to his roots. This is a candid, inspiring conversation about mentorship, resilience, and the power of connection in and out of the kitchen. Key Takeaways: Jamie’s culinary roots began in the Navy, where he built foundational skills under pressure. Transitioning from the structure of military kitchens to the chaos of hospitality was a defining challenge. Pubs are more than just venues — they’ve been Jamie’s training ground and sanctuary. Mentorship and leadership by example are at the heart of Jamie’s philosophy. The rise to “celebrity chef” status isn’t all glitz — it demands consistency, values, and authenticity. Tackling toxic kitchen culture starts with open conversations and leading with respect. Moving into media and brand partnerships has expanded Jamie’s impact without losing his culinary soul. Standout Quotes: "Pubs have been good to me.""I'm always gonna be a chef.""Respect goes both ways."

The more than 100 pub closures in Clare in the past two decades are being attributed to changing attitudes to nightlife and socialising. A new report from the Drinks Industry Group has revealed that 108 pubs have ceased trading here in the last 20 years, accounting for almost 30% of the number operating in the county in 2005. Clare has the 10th highest closure rate nationwide according to the figures, and the Drinks Industry Group is forecasting a further 1,000 closures nationwide within the next decade. Martin Baker of the Burren Inn in Tubber has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons there's no evidence the Government is genuinely listening to the asks of publicans.

Over 2,100 pubs have closed since 2005, with more than 100 pubs are closing every year across Ireland. That's according to a new report commissioned by the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland. We discuss these findings with Tony Foley, Emeritus Associate Professor of Economics at DCU Business School.

Joe's builders have broken a light, so before recording the pod he gave them the frosty treatment when they arrived to fix it. Well, sort of - because when David questions him on the details, he doesn't sound that convinced about how he handled it. Moving on, David then tells Joe about being embarrassed when he listened back to one of their recent episodes, explains that he's still got a bit of a dodgy tummy and recounts a recent family meal in a very busy pub that he had to abandon because of it. Then the two of them discuss more old jobs they used to have, like cleaning offices and being a barman.

A new book is commemorating the public houses that have shaped the great city, and which are no longer with us. A total of 204 pubs feature in the book, which have since been transformed into convenience stores, doctors' offices, childcare centres, or simply stand empty. Sam Cullen is the author of London's Lost Pubs and he speaks to Emile Donovan.

We're off on a haunted pub crawl through Edinburgh's Grassmarket — a charming old square with a dark and bloody past. Once home to executions, riots, and witch trials, it's now a paranormal hotspot packed with ghosts, legends, and cursed bar stools. Steeped in history and hauntings, the Grassmarket is where you can find spirits such as "Half-Hangit" Maggie Dickson, a woman who was executed at the gallows and LIVED to tell the tale (seriously), a mischievous ghost child named Maria who haunts the Last Drop bar and steals hot chocolate, and a pair of disembodied legs that wander through the White Hart Inn's cellar. We're talking phantom touches, haunted beer taps, and an infamous gallows that claimed over 100 hundred lives during ‘The Killing Times'. Join us — and the ghosts — for a round.

We know all about the past, what happened when and where. But, what about the future? AI, will authors and playwrights be out of a job? Will we need to learn to drive a car? Cars will be driverless! Will shops exist? Order everything online. Join me this Sunday for a chat.

Should we scrap the pint measure? Or is the very notion of doing so rooted in prejudices like classism?These were the questions I asked following the September 2024 publication of a study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge. Back then my focus was singular: why indeed did such a study focus specifically not just on beer, but on pubs? Its focus was to look at alcohol consumption rates, and investigate if reducing the size of the available measures would in turn reduce the rate of alcohol consumed. Following the study's publication, I contemplated why it focused on the pub, when around 60% of alcohol is now consumed in the home. It eventually led to bigger questions, such as where the pint measure fits within the fabric of British culture itself. This, I felt, was the perfect subject for an old-fashioned debate.Once again, this summer we headed up to FyneFest to host our Meet the Brewer tastings and panel discussions, and we decided to kick off Friday evening with this very topic of conversation. I was pleased to welcome back two previous Pellicle podcast guests, in the form of Rooster's Ol Fozard and Lost Cause Brewing's Vik Kastenbauer Stronge. It was also a pleasure to welcome Chris Shepherd from Cambridge-based Pastore brewing, for what I hope won't be his only appearance on this podcast.While the festival got underway around us, we kicked our debate into action. You might say that being members of the beer industry, this is a side of the discussion loaded with some bias. But you'll also hear some really interesting questions from the audience, including former CAMRA national executive chair Colin Valentine, and some other surprising guests.As conversations around alcohol and health continue I'm sure this is a discussion that will come back around pretty soon. But in terms of the pint as a British cultural reference point, this is a fascinating panel, and one I hope you enjoy.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

This week on Talk Birdie To Me, we have some news on a big, big rumour from a couple of impeccable sources to do with Rory McIlroy and the Australian Open. Mark reveals all on the pod about what it means. Nick and Mark discuss what it would mean for other players being attracted, and ticket sales, with the combination of Rory McIlroy playing and the tournament being played on the Royal Melbourne composite course. Nick says he has goosebumps at the thought.Mark says he believes 'it is going to happen', however as exciting as it is he wonders about future Australian Opens, and what the 'plan' is for Australian gold and the calendar. Mark says 'I haven't heard a plan for Australian events from GA for 20-years'.We discuss the appointment of Oglivy as Presidents Cup Captain, and Mark asks Nick about his time playing Presidents Cup. Nick says for Washington and Montreal, preparation was non-existent, but that has now changed.We receive a voicemail from Wolfpack member Paul who has two questions for Nick and Mark, the first on Rory at The Masters, the second on Ángel Cabrera. Mark raises Steph Kyriacou's albatross from the weekend, and we find out how many (if any) albatross's the boys have each made.Scottie Scheffler. 31 under. Wow. Mark runs through the stats of his tournament at the Byron Nelson where he rinsed the field.After the Turn, Nick lists the Top 5 international players who are a realistic chance of playing the 2025 Australian Open.Feedback - Monty gets a run, Mark finds a way to sledge him and Nick joins in with a whack. Ryan French (of Monday Q on Twitter) last week in our bonus pod told a great story about Todd Balkin, turns out Todd listens to Talk Birdie To Me from Dallas and has sent us a message. We also received one from Matt in Brisbane who has an alternate 'greatest shot ever' to put to Mark after his Rory comments. We get Matt on a WhatsApp call and have a chinwag. Towards the end of the call, Matt describes his club in Jindalee as basically a pub with a golf course, or maybe it was a golf course with a pub, we got sidetracked when he mentioned pub. Mark would like to hear about other courses, anywhere in the world that a sort of like a pub/golf course combo so he can schedule a visit.Plenty to run through in the PING global results, Nick as usual has all the results that matter.

If you're a regular user of pubs I'm probably someone you'd refer to as a ‘transient' pubgoer. I enjoy variety—the spice of life, as it were. Stimulation, for me, comes from visiting lots of different pubs, and here in Manchester I am spoiled for choice.It's easy enough for me to hop from Café Beermoth, to The City Arms, to Bundobust, to head over to The Salisbury for yet another Old Peculier. And if I jump back on a train or bus to where I live in Stockport, I can visit The Magnet, Ye Olde Vic, The Petersgate Tap, Runaway Brewery… you get the picture. But it's also part of a problem in that this desire I have to visit and experience lots of places often leaves me lacking the feeling of being grounded. And when you think about it, that's one of the key reasons pubs exist in the first place. Thankfully, one pub, just down the road from me in the Stockport borough of Heaton Chapel, seems to have changed all of that. Here I have found a place where the staff know my name (and insist, for some reason, on always calling me by my full name), where they know what I want to drink before I order it, and where I can sit down and be in full conversation with other regulars within seconds. Here is somewhere I feel safe and welcome, always.The place? Heaton Hops, a tiny pub (you might call it a ‘micropub' but I find it diminutive so it's not a term I like to use) just off the busy A6 that's nestled into a neighbourhood that has collected a multitude of similar small, independent businesses. A genuine community. The pub was founded in 2014 by husband and wife Damian O'Shea and Charlotte Winstone, initially as a bottle shop that sold a limited amount of beer to drink on premise. The needs of the community, however, dictated that it should be a pub first, and a bottle shop second, and so that's what it became; home to eight lines of keg beer, and three hand pulls serving immaculately conditioned pints of real ale. Me being me, in my fondness for this place I decided to pitch an article about it to BEER, the quarterly magazine for the Campaign for Real Ale I write for relatively frequently. The piece will be featured in the Summer 2025 edition, and so if you're a member you'll be receiving that around the beginning of June. Listening back to the interview recently, I thought wouldn't Damian, essentially the landlord of my local, make a great podcast guest. And so I've edited that recording into a nice, half-hour interview for you to enjoy.Damian and I chat about Heaton Hops itself, and how he came to own and run his own pub. But we also get stuck into what's happening in terms of small, independent hospitality businesses at the moment, and what kind of beer gets Damian out of bed these days while also indulging ourselves in a bit of nostalgia for the early craft beer days. It's a fun conversation, and one I hope you enjoy. If you'd like to visit Heaton Hops (which is also featured in my book, Manchester's Best Beer Pubs and Bars) you can find it at 7 School Lane, Stockport, SK4 5DE. You might even find me propping up the bar.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.
