Supporting Community Pubs: Security Deployment for Admiral Taverns Venues

Community pubs play an important role at the heart of local neighbourhoods across the UK. As operators continue to invest in refurbishing and revitalising these venues, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for customers and staff is essential to their success.

Professional Security recently partnered with Admiral Taverns to deliver security services at two of their community pubs – The Fairham in Nottingham and The Silver Spur in Wolverhampton – supporting both venues as they reopened following significant refurbishment projects.

Investment in Community Pubs

Both venues have recently undergone major investment as part of Admiral Taverns’ ongoing programme to revitalise community pubs.

The Fairham in Nottingham reopened following a £570,000+ refurbishment, transforming the venue with upgraded interiors, improved facilities and a refreshed atmosphere for the local community.

Meanwhile, The Silver Spur in Wolverhampton welcomed customers back after a £300,000 makeover, introducing modernised interiors and enhanced social spaces designed to strengthen the pub’s role as a local gathering place.

As venues reopen following refurbishment and attract increased footfall, having the right operational support in place is key to ensuring a smooth and successful return to trading.

Challenges

Prior to Admiral Taverns taking over the venues, both sites had previously operated under different ownership and had developed historic reputations for anti-social behaviour and disorder, which can sometimes occur in busy licensed premises.

As the venues reopened under new management and following significant refurbishment, there was a clear opportunity to reset the environment and rebuild confidence with both customers and the local community.

This presented several operational challenges, including:

Managing instances of anti-social behaviour from members of the local community
Responding appropriately to occasional alcohol-related incidents
Supporting venue teams during busy trading periods
Rebuilding trust and encouraging a positive reputation within the local community
Ensuring safe environments for staff, patrons and management

Admiral Taverns required a security provider capable of delivering a structured, professional and consistent approach to venue safety, supporting the venues as they re-established themselves as welcoming community pubs.

Our Solution

Professional Security deployed experienced SIA-licenced door supervisors across both venues, providing a professional security presence aligned with the welcoming atmosphere expected in community pubs.
