We’re sure there are many more strangely named pubs out there, which one is yours?

Monday.. the launch of our new jobs site is here!

Our old jobs pages were looking a bit dated and needed some new features so we rewrote the Jobs section of beerintheevening.com and we now have a new site for you at https://jobs.beerintheevening.com.

The current jobs that are listed on there are from some of our Premium Pubs that use the site, but we’re opening up all the posting of jobs by any pub, bar or brewery for free until 1st August 2011!

So, if you are after a new pub and bar job or have one to list, make sure you visit our new site today!

With over 45,000 people visiting Beer in the Evening each day, we aim to be the Number 1 place for pub and bar jobs in the UK.

With it being absolutely free to advertise your job, submit your job today.

Each week we get the odd email from various media outlets asking us some strange questions for whatever article they are currently writing. Time upon time, we get asked ‘What is the most popular pub name in the UK?’ We thought we’d share with you what they are – is your local named the same?

(Some of them might be proceeded with ‘The’ – lots of pubs go by with and without it!)

1. Red Lion
2. Royal Oak
3. White Hart
4. Rose and Crown
5. New Inn
6. White Horse
7. Crown
8. Kings Head
9. Crown Inn
10. Kings Arms

What does this all mean? Well, if you are a ‘Red Lion’ good luck in getting people to find you in Google! Out of all the pubs on BITE we have 16,283 unique pub names listed – over half of all the pubs we have on the site have a name shared by at least 3 other pubs!

Hello everyone. In this post we wish to discuss our current backlog of pubs and changes we still have to process. BITE is the UK’s busiest pub and bar website and because of this we get a lot of email. Last year we implemented a ticket system to help sort out the emails.

Generally, they are made up of various subjects: Booking enquiries, new pub suggestions or changes, questions about individual pubs, queries about comments, you name it! On average we receive approx 850 emails a week. Obviously, it’s impossible to answer each individual one when they come in – sometimes we reply only for that email to need replying to again. Unfortunately, this has meant the pub additions and changes have been left behind whilst we reply to the more urgent emails (such as complaints about pubs, pubs comments, etc) – a lot of people email us to complain about individual pubs and don’t realise they aren’t contacting the pub company in question; so instead of leaving them in the dark we reply and let them know who to contact, this isn’t always a quick process!

Safe to say, we’ve been writing some new systems in the background recently and that the addition of pubs should be a lot quicker – we really value your submissions, whether it’s a new pub, a change or a review. You should start seeing email alerts from us soon with your pub added or change completed and the backlog should be over for good by approx the end of this month.

Keep on boozing and thanks for your support everyone!
