The Bittern Pub is more than just a local watering hole; it's a cherished community hub embedded in the heart of our town's identity. For years, Steve and Jackie have not only been exemplary managers but also the soul of The Bittern, fostering a welcoming atmosphere and ensuring that the pub remains a focal point for residents and visitors alike. Their exceptional dedication and commitment to the pub's success have made it a beloved institution, where everyone knows each other, friendships are made, and memories are cherished.

Recently, we have been faced with news that the lease for The Bittern Pub might not be renewed for Steve and Jackie. This decision poses a significant threat not only to them personally but to all of us who consider The Bittern as an essential part of our lives. The pub contributes significantly to our community, offering a venue for local events, family gatherings, and community meetings. When this sense of togetherness is jeopardized, the entire community feels the loss.

We believe that Steve and Jackie deserve to continue their tenure at The Bittern, not just because of their stellar management, but because they truly understand the community's spirit and needs. Keeping them in place is crucial for preserving the unique character and the invaluable societal benefits The Bittern brings to our area.
