Not so long ago, it was almost impossible to find vegan options on a pub menu.

Times have changed.

Pub goers will be “dancing in the streets” – or in venues – over the announcement that dance floors can reopen in venues from Monday.

As venues in New South Wales will be able to host one person per every two square metres in outdoor spaces from tomorrow, publicans react to the news and discuss what other measures would improve trade for their businesses.

Hunt Hospitality operates a suite of pubs in the NSW central coast region. Front man Stephen Hunt is known for his proactive approach to staff management and thus far hasn’t had any difficulty getting sufficient numbers. The group reports while the environment has certainly brought pressures, the team has been “really responsive” to inclusion in the ongoing communication.

A year ago, Hunt Hospitality began a mental health initiative for its employees that subsidises confidential counselling sessions.

Pub commandant Stephen Hunt has tempted Newcastle region locals to Shoot Your Local, offering $5,000 cash for capturing the heart of Hunter pubs.

As Stephen Hunt’s plans for his venues have grown, he’s turned to alternate sources of funding for his business ventures – with great results.

The dynamic Hunt Hospitality has agreed to sale of its large-format Lakeside Village Tavern at Raymond Terrace, to the growing stable under Nicholas Quinn.

Managing Director Stephen & Fidelma Hunt create a concept for local photographer#s ‘Shoot your local’ – One of Australia’s biggest photography prizes. Across the Summer season patrons of The Duke will be able to embrace local talent as their work goes on display before the winner is announced.
