Swindon pubs landlords tell of their optimism after a year of Covid

PUB landlords around Swindon are hoping for a busy summer after struggling through a year of lockdowns that destroyed their trade. The Tuppenny owner Jamie Stapleton revealed that his worst night, in December, saw sales that were 99.5 per cent down on the previous year, but an online shop set up in the first two days of the March lockdown proved to be a lifeline. He added: “People started talking about Covid in January and the PM advised people not to go to pubs, so we had a terrible February and an awful March, trade nosedived. “Older customers we saw during the daytime started isolating and staff at big hubs like Nationwide and Intel worked from home so we didn’t get their lunchtime or after-work visits.
