Business Focus Traditional comfort, good pub food


When new tenants Debbie Scrivens and Jason Tharp took over at the George Inn, Leeds Village in late December last year – they never imagined the baptism of fire that they were in for. Taking over at the busiest time of the year was a challenge in itself but being greeted with local road closures, horrendous weather conditions and no electricity was something they hadn’t bargained for. However thanks to the goodwill and overwhelming support of friends, family and the local community the day to day running of the pub is more like how they dreamed. Debbie and Jason fell in love with the pub from the offset and are excited about


getting it back to being the community pub that it used to be.

The menu has been updated with some great offers to entice in locals and visitors from the wider community. Chef Paul, locally


know as Kelfy has been a part of the pub for many many years and supported by assistant chef Darren they will be cooking up some classic pub favourites such as homemade classic lasagne or a warming Ocean pie.


Debbie and Jason are keen to become involved in the local community – by supporting the local cricket and football teams plus holding regular friendly darts competitions. The monthly quiz will continue on the first Tuesday of the month. Local clubs and societies are welcome to use the pub for meetings and events.


So be sure to pay a visit to the George Inn at Leeds – introduce yourself to Debbie, Jason and the team – you will be sure of a warm welcome.

Although websites are an integral part of almost everybody’s daily life, some people may still be apprehensive when it comes to website design. On hearing phrases like SEO (search engine optimisation), CMS (content managed systems) or e-commerce it is easy to see why people may feel somewhat confused. But according to a Maidstone web design specialist that need not be the case.


Jason Batt and Brian Stroud (pictured) set up Blue House Web Design and Development in 2008 and since then have helped hundreds of businesses, both big and small, create a web presence to reflect their needs.


Jason said: “Our ambition when setting up Blue House was to provide a cost-effective web design and development service to local businesses without compromising design quality and we have certainly achieved that.


“We work with one concrete rule in our minds: no two projects that leave our studio will ever be the same. Many web design companies offer ‘off the


shelf’ template designs, which may be simple to set up but not always appropriate to your requirements.”


The experienced team at Blue House has over 40 years of combined knowledge and will start out by listening to your wants and needs before taking time to consider the very best solution for your business. Throughout the process the team ensures all technical terminology is explained in plain English.


“When clients start creating an online presence and professional image it often leads to them considering further design work, new logos or brochures etc,” said Jason. “Listening to our client’s preference of keeping everything in the same place we extended our services to include complete project management, from design and print to a full re-brand.”


Jason sees Maidstone as the business hub of Kent and is proud that Blue House is a part of it. Jason is happy to meet with you for an informal chat to discuss your needs without any obligation.
