Rutherfords Micropub - The 1st in Scotland

A 'Micropub' according to the Micropub Association is defined as follows:
'A Micropub is a small freehouse which listens to its customers, mainly serves cask ales,
promotes conversation, shuns all forms of electronic entertainment and dabbles in
traditional pub snacks'
Micropubs are the brainchild of Martyn Hillier who, in 2005, converted a disused butchers shop in
the village of Herne, Kent into ‘The Butchers Arms’, a tiny ‘pub’ specialising in well-kept craft ales.
Also the founder of The Micropub Association, he recommended the following ‘rules’ of the
Micropub:
• Conversion of a closed shop (to bring back life to the high streets)
• Small in size (to keep costs down and encourage a convivial, friendly atmosphere)
• Limited service (Focusing on a smaller range of craft ales etc, the quality is guaranteed)
• Limited trading hours (All micropubs have varying hours, but none of them follow
traditional pub times of 11am to 11pm 7 days a week. The hours are built around their
customers, who are not the usual pub clientele). Our intention is 12noon – 10pm Tuesday -
Sunday
• Reasonable prices (With low overheads, and using local suppliers, the cost savings are
passed directly to the customers.)
• No lager (This rule acts as a ‘filter’). Micropubs also do not sell alcopops or cold gassy keg
products. They specialise in local craft ales in interesting choices which cannot usually be
matched by public houses. The ales are regularly changed, encouraging repeat business.
• Beers from local microbreweries (encouraging local business and an interesting choice
which cannot be matched by local public houses or bought from the Supermarket)
• No music (Micropubs focus on the ‘lost art’ of conversation and lively banter. There is occasionally live local music,
such as fiddle or folk music played by locals.)
• No Television (This rule also acts as a ‘filter’. It is also a distraction from the atmosphere)
• No hot food (No need for waiting staff, extensive kitchen areas, environmental health,
noise or smells. Micropubs often sell locally produced cold snacks, as the lure of a hand
raised pork pie with a rich malty beer and a nice sharp cheese with cider or a hoppy light
ale is hard to resist!)
• No electronic machines/devices (Gaming machines take up valuable space and ruin the
atmosphere, as well as attracting burglars. Whilst some micropubs ban mobile phones,
most operate a ‘silent only’ policy which suits everyone)
