Our story begins with a shared dream between two cricketers, Stuart Broad and Harry Gurney, who had a passion for hospitality and community spirit. In 2018, that dream became a reality when they transformed a historic building in Upper Broughton into the Tap & Run, a village pub with a vision to offer great food, drink, and warm hospitality to locals and visitors alike.

From day one, the Tap & Run became more than just a pub. It became a gathering place, where friends and families could come together to share moments, celebrate milestones, and enjoy good company in a cosy, welcoming setting. 

However, in June 2022, the Tap & Run faced its biggest challenge yet. A devastating fire ripped through the building, leaving it in ruins and forcing us to close our doors. The future felt uncertain, but the incredible outpouring of support from the community and our determination to rebuild gave us the strength to carry on.

With a shared resolve to restore what had been lost, we embarked on the journey of rebuilding the Tap & Run. Every step of the restoration was driven by our commitment to preserving the pub’s heart and soul, while adding fresh elements that would welcome a new chapter.

Now, we are proud to have reopened the Tap & Run, with a space that honours its past but also looks forward to the future. The pub remains a place of gathering, celebration, and joy—a true testament to the resilience of both our team and our community.

Whether you’re stopping by for a pint, a bite to eat, or a catch-up with friends, we invite you to become part of our story and experience everything that makes the Tap & Run a special place.
