Multiple pub operators Kirsten and Nathan Cortilla have opened their third pub together, the Three Brewers in Corsham, Wiltshire. It will be their first in partnership with Red Oak Taverns.
The couple, who also run the Flemish Weaver in Corsham and the White Hart in Atworth, have substantially changed their new pub. They have redecorated throughout, added new flooring and transformed the garden area with decking and a children’s play area. Pub owners Red Oak Taverns have invested in external redecoration, lighting and new toilets.
The pub now has a range of events and activities to cater for everyone in the community including knit & natter, chess and book clubs, Blues Sundays, kid’s craft sessions, quiz and bingo nights, as well as hosting crib, darts and skittles leagues. They are starting race nights this year and will launch new breakfast and pub lunch menus and themed food nights later this spring.
Kirsten, who has run pubs with Nathan for 15 years, said: “We found the pub by chance, and both being from the local area, we knew it well. We always wanted to run a pub that was a proper community hub, and this was the one. We worked in partnership with Red Oak Taverns to pull our plans together and with the joint investments we are well on our way to creating a place where everyone is welcome whether they want a quiet drink or to catch up with friends at one of our events”.
Business development manager for Red Oak Taverns, Jo Skuse, said: “Both Nathan and Kirsten are experienced pub operators, so it was brilliant they decided to run the Three Brewers. They have made a huge difference to the pub, which now has something for everyone”.
The pub acts as a collection point for the local food bank and a bereavement help point in partnership with Dorothy House. The pub serves cask ales and is featured in the Good Beer Guide as well as being runner-up in the finals for the Pub of the Year award at this year’s Wiltshire Life awards.
