Did you know that people have been working from the pub for hundreds of years? It’s true. The pub has always been one of those informal places where you can simply turn up, buy yourself a drink, sit down and work on your latest project. But is it really such a great place to work?
Researchers from the University of Lincoln, Northumbria University, Plunkett UK (LINK) and Nottingham Trent University teamed up to find out more. They asked pub industry bodies, publicans and workers around the UK what they thought about working from a pub.
The researchers found that pubs are a great informal place to work. With a table to claim as their own, access to Wi-Fi and hot drinks, there was not much that workers could not do while sitting in their local.
