The support space built for operators like you
Kith & Kin Hospitality is the UK’s dedicated community for independent hospitality operators. Founded by Cassie Davison, it exists to give pub owners, restaurant operators, and hospitality leaders the tools, community, and confidence they need to thrive.
Running an independent pub is relentless. The pressures are real, the margins are tight, and it can feel incredibly lonely at the top. Kith & Kin changes that — connecting you with others who truly understand, and giving you practical, no-fluff support that makes a genuine difference.
Cassie brings years of experience in hospitality leadership and a deep, personal commitment to the sector. Her approach is honest, human, and built around what actually works — not theory.
Three things that help independent operators stand out
Cassie shares the principles that separate the pubs that thrive from the ones that merely survive.
Your team is your product. In hospitality, the experience you create lives or dies with the people delivering it. Investing in your team’s confidence, clarity, and culture isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the single biggest lever you have on revenue and retention.
Community beats marketing budget every time. Independent operators often try to compete with big brands on spend. You won’t win that fight. Instead, become the heartbeat of your local community — that’s something no chain can replicate, and it drives loyalty that no algorithm can buy.
Clarity on what you stand for is everything. The best independent pubs know exactly who they are and who they’re for. When you’re clear on your identity, every decision becomes easier — from menu design to staff hiring to how you handle difficult customers.

You shouldn’t have to figure this out alone
Independent hospitality is one of the most demanding things you can do. The hours are long, the margins are tight, and the pressures keep coming. Kith & Kin exists to make sure you don’t have to carry that alone.
As an SBP member, you get full access to Cassie’s book and her community — a combined value of over £75 per month — completely free. Because the best investment you can make right now is in yourself and in connecting with others who understand.
Hospitality is under pressure. Operators are stretched, teams are tired, and the noise in the industry is constant. But the independent spirit that makes this sector so brilliant hasn’t gone anywhere — it just needs the right community around it to keep burning bright. That’s what Kith & Kin is for. And it’s why I’m so proud to be part of Save British Pubs.
