PEOPLE RIGHT: Jonny Hodgson and Pete Nash after winning the 2020 Bradford Beer Festival award for best beer, 4% and under “THEY ARE CLAD IN LOCAL WOOD FROM A SAWMILL DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVE AN EN-SUITE AT THE BACK, LPG HEATING, A TWO BURNER STOVE AND MINI FRIDGE...” the road and have an en-suite at the back, LPG heating, a two burner stove and mini fridge. The pods can be used all year round, although we are closing the whole site during mid-week in November till April in order to install four more pods and to add some more accommodation options”. Neil reports the excitement and anticipation of receiving the first few bookings for the new glampsite. “We hadn’t done any advertising, just trailed a bit of PR and put things on our own website and social channels. When we announced the plans for Cheviot Glamping, we set up a mailing list and by the time we were ready to launch there were hundreds of people signed up for updates. We announced the opening date and bookings being open to our mailing list first and gave them a 24 hour period in which they could book first. We had a sweep stake as to how long it would take for the first booking to come in. Ellie said an hour, the rest of us were less optimistic. It actually took just seven minutes! We ended up with 33 bookings in the first 24 hours”. The entire Cheviot business now sustains three full time employees and plenty of part time staff in the brewery, tap bar, glampsite and pub. “At this stage all our profit is being reinvested into the next stages of our vision,” says Neil. “The potential of the glampsite alone is quite significant, and we have plans to scale it to six pods, three bell tents, two self-catering suites, and three single sleepers for hikers and cyclists”. Another tenant on the estate has recently opened a campsite adding to the tourists staying locally. “It’s great for us, more people staying locally means more potential patrons to the tap bar and pub” says Neil. “The great thing about the estate is that it is keen to support and nurture the economy on it; it wouldn’t put businesses together that didn’t gel – plus we also have alpaca trekking as an added extra!” Animals at the brewery are not an uncommon site, and the tap bar has become a destination venue for the local equestrian centre. “It’s not unusual to see a line of horses tied up as their riders grab a quick pint”.
