Grant Arms Hotel, Ramsbottom - S11.E6

Alex Polizzi heads to Ramsbottom in Greater Manchester to lend her expertise to Charlotte Belcher, who has been running the 14-bedroom Grant Arms Hotel for two and a half years. Despite its attractive, central location, the 19th-century listed venue has developed a bad reputation as a hang-out for a `rough crowd' - particularly at the bar. With no profits to pay for renovations, Charlotte has enlisted her husband and two children to help turn the Grant Arms around, but her work-life balance is starting to tip drastically away from home, and the beleaguered hotelier hopes Alex will find a way to boost the hotel's income while also restoring her private life.
