Janet asked us to let people know that they can order their magazines via the Shop at the Sycamore. Either call in or phone Janet on 390 212.
Also last Saturday the Pub was featured in the Derby Evening Telegraph referring back to its winning the Best Community Pub Award in September:
Another Derbyshire pub which has stayed successful despite the trade crisis is the Sycamore Inn, in Parwich. It scooped two gongs at this year’s Great British Pub Awards, for East and West Midlands Pub of the Year and Community Pub of the Year.
Janet Gosling, who has run the pub for eight years, said the business had stayed central to the village community. In March, she and her partner, Stephen Conway, opened a shop in the pub, selling vegetables, newspapers and household goods. The Sycamore also offers entertainment, including quiz nights, darts and pool.
Miss Gosling, 31, said: “When the old village shop closed people came to us to see whether we could open one in the building. I’ve lived in Parwich all my life and I worked at the pub part-time before I took over so I’d like to think I know what the people want.”
The Sycamore Inn is the only pub in the village, apart from the British Legion, and Miss Gosling said this gave the business even greater importance.
She said: “I know that some pubs around the country are having problems but one way to help the situation can be to stay close to your community.”
