David Roder runs a community-minded pub on the corner of Tower Street, the Waterworks. He encourages everyone to mix and meet new people and he has created a place where women feel safe and comfortable to come in on their own.
Throughout the year, David and his staff run charity events for local groups and this year the have raised £600 for the Rye Foodbank, £300 for Ukranian Unicef, £100 for the RNLI at Rye Harbour, and £100 for the air ambulance. David says it is his way of giving back to the community which supports him in all his enterprises.
It is a pub that meets the needs of the locals in Rye and it will be open on Christmas Day from 12 noon till 3pm so people can pop in for some Christmas cheer.
