Ugo Monye (UM): I knew this site before we got involved about three years ago and it was a bit of a mess. Adam Saword (AS): It didn’t have any identity and hadn’t traded for a few months, which was a challenge. Many Harlequins fans have been coming to the area for many years and would never have stepped through the door. But we now feel that we’v...
AS: Twickenham is a good town that is obviously very big on rugby. We are fortunate in that we’re right next to the station so in the scale of how bars fill in the area, they fill from us and the Cabbage Patch, the Fuller’s pub across the road, before they filter through the Twickenham pubs further from the station. On days that England are playin...
UM: I met Adam the summer before the 2015 Rugby World Cup just after I’d retired and it looked like a great way to keep me out of trouble. We had a good chat and there was huge excitement around the World Cup so we saw it as a brilliant opportunity for me to get involved. I was quite excited by what I saw when I checked it out.

UM: During the World Cup, we found ourselves bringing back the likes of Jonny Wilkinson, John Inverdale and Clive Woodward to have some food and drinks in the upstairs dining area because it is somewhere they could take in the post-game atmosphere while still relaxing. AS: We have become known for not only corporate hospitality, but also everyday...
UM: There have been some great memories. After Australia v Scotland in the quarter finals of the 2015 World Cup, we were absolutely packed out and had a live band on. Suddenly we found Brian McFadden from Westlife on stage singing karaoke with former England international Mike Tindall. To have people like that come here and create that extra buzz ...
UM: We are looking at lots of different opportunities to push the Shack out there. We have spoken about doing a pop-up at Bournemouth 7s, the biggest rugby festival there is in the calendar year. AS: That said, I don’t think we could ever possibly find a site quite like this, where it is so big on event days and yet still has the local character ...
