Gary Smith, 40, who has been running pubs and bars for the last 20 years, took on a new venture last month.
Gary, who was born in Mansfield, and has run venues in Chesterfield for the last 10 years is now taking over popular Tupton Tap.
For the last three weeks he has already extended the drinks menu and is planning to introduce traditional British food from Thursday, September 21.
Gary said: "What I love the most about running pubs is the customers. Every day is a different day and it never gets boring.
"I applied for this venue because It’s a lovely local pub with a really nice atmosphere. It is a laid-out bar. We are planning to introduce traditional British food and live music. We will host quiz nights as well. There will be something for everyone.”
