In this episode of Kitchen Tales, Colline and Rhona catch up with long-time friends Colin and Katie Martin, former owners of The Globe pub in Newbury. They share the journey from leaving corporate jobs to running one of the town’s most beloved pubs, the highs and challenges of hospitality, and why they decided to step away. We hear how a chance petrol stop brought them to Newbury, what they’ve been up to since, and the exciting plans for their new venture, Parched — a friendly neighbourhood bar with top-quality craft beer, cocktails, and future street food vibes. Colin and Katie talk community, crowdfunding, and their vision for creating the perfect space to unwind.
