The Fenwick Arms (Revisited)

When Gordon first arrived at The Fenwick Arms in 2006, he found the pub run by landlord Brian, who, after thirty years in the business and a quadruple heart-bypass, was still determined to run his kitchen his way. But despite Brian and his partner Elaine working 120 hour weeks, the pub was sinking fast. Already £250,000 in debt, they were losing £1,500 a week and bankruptcy was mere months away. Gordon stepped in to remove Brian from the kitchen and turn him into a punter to get back to basics on the appeal of a traditional British pub. Taking to the streets, they launched the Campaign for Real Gravy, and put classic pub fare back on the menu. Finally, things were starting to look up for the team at The Fenwick Arms. Now, one year on, Gordon’s back only to find that morale is at an all-time low, and Brian is ready to chuck in the towel. Can Gordon save The Fenwick Arms, again?
