Stump Cross Caverns to feature in Channel 5 programme
Stump Cross Caverns near Pateley Bridge is set to feature in a well-known Channel 5 programme next week.
The Hotel Inspector, which is led by former hotelier Alex Polizzi, offers guidance to hotels and businesses on how to redirect themselves and avoid closing down.
Lisa Bowerman, owner of Stump Cross Caverns, told the Stray Ferret she saw a post from Channel 5 on Facebook looking for businesses to be part of the show.
She said:
The caverns have been open since 1860, but Ms Bowerman has been running the business for the last 20 years.
However, she added “after that long you don’t always see the things that need changing".
A spokesperson from Channel 5 said Alex quickly realised the business needed “streamlining and smartening”.
The filming finished towards the end of June and Alex’s “formidable force” has made a “massive difference to the business”, Ms Bowerman added.
The episode will air next Tuesday, October 24, at 9pm on Channel 5.
