Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (@DarwinCollege) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the @spectator libido section.
It was a pleasure to speak to Chris. He really opened my eyes to the reality of trying to open, and subsequently run, community-owned pubs.

The reality of organising and running rural community-owned pubs is not as simple and enjoyable as mainstream media would have us believe. In this article, I examine why that is. Very excited to see it published. Thanks to the wonderful @pelliclemag for giving this story a home.

There is an idea often pushed by mainstream media that the story of a pub being taken on by the local community is a net positive. In this week's brand new feature @JLSmithwriter unearths why this is, in reality, so very rarely the case. Read it here: pelliclemag.com/home/2024/4/12…
In this week's newsletter, I say goodbye to an Edinburgh institution: The Jazz Bar jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/the-jazz-bar
Gutted to learn about The Jazz Bar’s closure. It’s a place I visited on my first trip to Edinburgh and one I have frequented regularly since moving here, It was an honest venue that put music and musicians front and centre. The city will not be the same without it.
My latest article: how Cumbria’s lack of food-centric publications does a discredit to its gastronomic sector and results in the distortion of Cumbria’s food identify. jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/cumbrian-foo…
It blows my mind that Cumbria has 13 Michelin-starred restaurants (15 stars total) but no food-centric print publication. Surely there’s demand for something like Taste Cumbria Magazine to get back into circulation?
Inspired by Do Ho Suh, I wrote about the idea of home for the latest edition of Marra. jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/home-is-a-pi…
Wrote something a little bit sillier than usual for this week's edition of Marra. Have you met a Janet B before? jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/a-food-write…
In this month's round-up I focus on Michelin star news, the launch of a new set lunch menu, and a restaurant's miraculously quick opening. #edinburgh #restaurants jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/edinburgh-re…
Wrote about an issue closer to my current home for Saturday's instalment of Marra. As always, read, share, subscribe if you like this kind of thing! jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/enjoy-dalry-…
My latest newsletter, focusing on one of Cumbria’s most enduring insults, is live. jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/who-are-you-…
Ahead of the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland’s 2024 announcement I ask who Cumbria’s stars are really serving. jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/cumbrias-sta…
In the most recent edition of Marra I speak with Fiona Sample MBE, founder of The Oswin Project about the charity’s fantastic Café 16 initiative. jlsmithwriter.substack.com/p/serving-seco…
I’m excited to announce the launch of Marra, my free, weekly newsletter that places Northern people, regions and produce at its core. If you subscribe (via the link), one piece of writing will be delivered direct to your inbox every Saturday morning. jlsmithwriter.substack.com

Today we are FIVE YEARS OLD! Blimey. Instead of a regular feature, here's a note from our editor-in-chief @totalcurtis reflecting on our first five years, and (fingers crossed) the next five too. Thank you for all your support so far folks! pelliclemag.com/home/2024/4/30…
For @pelliclemag I was challenged to make ‘the case for perry’ in 1000 words, but it’s easier to make it with 3 glasses. Grateful for the opportunity to talk about this wonderful drink, it’s history, importance, flavours and why drinkers should seek it out pelliclemag.com/home/2024/4/16…

☕️ Grab a coffee (or a beer!) and read this brilliant piece about the challenges of community pub ownership written by @JLSmithwriter. It includes a focus on The Fox and Hounds, Ennerdale in #Lakeland, with our data + an interview with our Head of Policy & Comms @ChrisCowcher

@JLSmithwriter @pelliclemag Oh god you sent me a load of questions for this a while back and it completely slipped my mind. Many apologies. Great article tho, and prettt much how I would have answered it.
@JLSmithwriter I’m part of @thebevy so was nodding my head in agreement. It’s fucking hard work and not just bad for the liver!
Blimey, this hit the community pub nail straight on the head. Top stuff @JLSmithwriter

Excellent read this Wednesday morning in @pelliclemag from @JLSmithwriter, even if my blurry morning eyes kept reading Emmerdale not Ennerdale! As ever, a reminder that subscribers make stories like this possible, and a sub can cost less than a pint a month.

@JLSmithwriter @pelliclemag Interesting read, thanks.
@JLSmithwriter @pelliclemag A lovely read, Jacob. It pleasantly confounds some of our more pollyannaish perceptions of community ownership, and the hard graft of those involved 🍻
@pelliclemag @JLSmithwriter A useful article thanks. The image of community ownership/collective management as a panacea does need a reality check. Of course it's admirable and uplifting to see communities rally, but longer term fatigue and disputes are common, perhaps unavoidable, eventual pitfalls.
