Nicola runs her dream pub

Let the Pubtathalon begin!

“I’ve been given the opportunity to run my dream pub and champion women’s sport – fun games to get everyone moving and competing!”

For one day only, Nicola Adams got stuck in with the locals, cue in one hand, darts in the other. Nothing like a bit of healthy competition.

Practice makes perfect

Learning the ropes behind the bar is no small feat, but Nicola took it all in her stride. From understanding the brand range to designing a menu fit for her local audience, Nicola found her rhythm and there was no holding her back!

Transferable skills

Nicola might have swapped punches for pint glasses, but the qualities that made her a force to be reckoned with in the boxing ring are the very same ones that drove her success in the pub. Discipline, focus, and an unstoppable work ethic. Plus that smile behind the bar!
