WhAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

Pub Dogs Podcast is where the world of pubs, pints, and people comes to life — hosted by Matt Crowther, an award-winning multi-hospitality operator, entrepreneur, and passionate champion of the British pub scene.

Based in Warwickshire, England, Matt is the driving force behind some of the region’s most loved and successful venues, including 2025 Great British Pub Awards winner The Black Pug in Warwick — and the innovative Greek Restaurant Taverna Meraki in Leamington Spa. Through his company, Beer and Coffee Co, Matt has built a portfolio of standout pubs, bars, and restaurants that blend heritage, hospitality, and modern flair.

Matt’s commitment to quality, community, and creativity has earned him and his venues multiple industry accolades, recognising not only great food and drink, but also genuine leadership and sustainable growth within hospitality.

With decades of experience at every level of the trade, Matt knows what it takes to run great pubs — and through the Pub Dogs Podcast, he shares those insights with the world. Each episode features honest conversations with locals, publicans, brewers, chefs, and hospitality heroes, celebrating the stories, struggles, and successes that make our industry so unique.

From behind-the-bar tales to business wisdom and plenty of laughs along the way, Pub Dogs is a celebration of real people, proper pubs, and the passion that keeps the taps flowing. Pub Dogs dives into the heart of pub culture, from the history and heritage of classic inns to the future of the industry.
Each episode, host Matt Crowther pulls up a stool with pub lovers to chat about the stories, secrets, and spirits that make Britain’s pubs so special.

The pub is more than just a place to drink.
It’s a cornerstone of community — where friendships form, ideas brew, and stories unfold. We believe that deserves to be celebrated, protected, and talked about.

See you in the pub…
