The Port Mahon pub in Oxford has undergone a complete transformation by pub operators Joe Hill and Nick Bassett. The duo, who already have the Fir Tree pub have used their experience to turn the Greene King pub around.
Speaking about their new venture, Nick said, “The Port Mahon is like two pubs rolled into one, the best of both worlds. Sports fanatics can take advantage of the Sports bar with all the Sky features, whilst music lovers can enjoy the live entertainment in the traditional pub”.
Adding he said, “We wanted to bring the pub back to life. It’s always had a reputation for good music but the pub needed some tlc and both Joe and I have given it that”.
Regional manager for Greene King, Robin Tidd said, “Nick and Joe know what they are doing and are just the right people to take this pub and make it work really well”.

Selected for their successfully run businesses, Greene King female licensees were invited to be part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, the world-wide movement to highlight the crucial role that entrepreneurs and their ideas play in driving economic recovery and success in the UK and globally.
The all-female event, “Women mean Business 2009″ will take centre stage at Hanbury Manor, Ware on Thursday 19th November. Guests will have the opportunity to network with fellow innovators and enjoy a fabulous day of inspirational development.
Speaking about the event, Caroline Hollings, director of recruitment and training for Greene King said, “This is a great way to bring like minded business women together to encourage new ideas and innovative ways to further build their pub businesses. All too often the contribution women make to pub businesses is overlooked and this event will help recognise what value they do add as well as provide even more inspiration to them for the future – it’s all about making entrepreneurs even more entrepreneurial”.
Greene King, leaders in female enterprise with their successful Public Housewives campaign, tailored the event to their licensees, recognising the unique qualities women bring to their pubs.
