The Hotel Inspector returns with a brand new episode on Channel 5, as Alex Polizzi revisits The Dukes, a 270-year-old pub with rooms in the picturesque village of Heath and Reach, Bedfordshire. The episode airs on Thursday, 27 June 2024, at 8:00 pm.
Three and a half years after her initial visit, Alex returns to see if owner Sarah has successfully transformed The Dukes into a thriving business.
Previously, Alex found Sarah overworked in the kitchen and struggling to turn a profit, despite the pub’s charming exterior. With Alex’s guidance, Sarah revamped her business, creating an inviting pub with accommodations.
Now, Alex is back to assess the impact of her recommendations and determine if The Dukes has maintained its success or if Sarah has reverted to her previous demanding kitchen duties.
Upon her return, Alex discovers that while Sarah has implemented the suggested changes, the cost-of-living crisis has presented new challenges. With rising food and service costs, Sarah must navigate limited options for adjusting room rates. Alex, ever the seasoned hotel inspector, steps in once more to offer her expertise and ensure a bright future for The Dukes.
The Hotel Inspector: The Dukes Revisit airs on Thursday, 27 June 2024, at 8:00 pm on Channel 5.
