Stories On Tap

From coffee shops to chalkstream trout and now padel rackets, entrepreneur Hugo has built a career out of spotting opportunities where others might not.

In this episode of Stories on Tap, The Blue Bell landlord Giles and sports pundit Alex Crook sit down with Hugo to discover how he helped put Hampshire trout back on the menu, why local produce deserves more attention, and what keeps him launching businesses as he approaches 60.

Along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns, from the nation's obsession with padel and the challenges of running a food business during lockdown to Portsmouth FC, footballing memories and a rather unfortunate encounter with the sprinklers at Fratton Park.

Pour yourself a drink, pull up a stool and enjoy another round of Stories on Tap, where good food, football and great stories are always on the menu.
