00:00I'm Dan. I'm Calvin. And tell us where we are and what we're doing here today.
00:05We are at Rapscallion's Tortuga in Port Solent. It's one of our new venues.
00:08Brilliant. Tell me why Port Solent. If you pan around you'll see water and boats.
00:14It's pretty perfect for a pirate rum cocktail bar. Yeah the views are great.
00:20Obviously our other venue is in the middle of town so it's great to have an outside
00:24space to show everything that we can do. Big open windows so people can see in and you
00:29can see out. And a big space so we can put more of a show on which is great.
00:33So tell me when you're looking to kind of open this new venture.
00:38We're still waiting on suppliers but hopefully for the bank holiday weekend. Yeah fingers
00:43crossed. Keep your eye on socials for when we open announcements. So yeah hopefully soon.
00:48And tell me is there anything different to this Rapscallion to the one in South Sea?
00:53Well take the one in South Sea and just times it 100 on what we do.
00:57We're not on steroids. The food menu is obviously a bigger option because it's very food led.
01:04We have focused a little bit more on the family aspect of things. Obviously being in Port
01:08Solent there's a lot of families so we've got stuff for the kids here. But then it turns
01:12into a proper Rapscallion's late night as usual. We've got a separate playlist. Daytime
01:16and evening time. So yeah family friendly during the day. And a little bit more wild at night.
01:23I understand that you have quite a unique cocktail or sharing cocktail. Tell me a little
01:29bit about that if you can. Well it's called Shark Attack. It's the South's biggest sharing
01:33cocktail. We've just decided we need a bigger boat in that actually. It's a lot of fun.
01:40It comes out to the Jaws soundtrack. It had to be Jaws. It had to be Jaws. I did all the
01:44playlists and it just had to be Jaws. Fabulous.
