The Hotel Inspector

Alex Polizzi is in the Wiltshire cathedral town of Salisbury to come to the aid of 25-year-old passionate publican Reece.

With hundreds of British pubs closing each year, the landscape for boozers is tougher than it has ever been and Reece doesn't just have one establishment, but two! After ploughing his grandfather's inheritance money into the pubs this is a really personal journey - and with Reece and his partner living above one of the pubs, losing their business could also mean losing their home.

As well as being a budding publican, for six years Reece has trained as a circus performer and teacher and is full of ideas with a bold vision. But the Hotel Inspector is needed to help draw in the punters to share them with.

But is Salisbury ready for Reece's circus-themed nights? And can Alex get the high street boozer making money in time to save it?

Alex Polizzi visits East Sussex for her first glamping trip as she comes to the rescue of Anna and Nick and their shepherds huts business. After more than 15 years of hard graft the once-successful site has terrible occupancy rates and is hurtling towards huge losses, so it remains to be seen whether Alex can turn their fortunes around.

This week Alex is in Northern Ireland to come to the rescue of Hotelier Eamon. Twenty miles northeast of Belfast, Billy Andy's sits at the start of the stunning Causeway Coastal Route, visited by around a million tourists each year. The inn includes a sixty seater restaurant and two bars on the ground floor, above which are four ensuite letting rooms, plus a large flat and lounge. But Eamon's business is costing him thousands each month to keep afloat.

Eamon is a passionate businessman and an interior designer, but his dream is fading fast. Lack of trade and staff shortages means the restaurant and bar only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - and Eamon is having to turn his hand to everything.

Eamon is a man with grand schemes to turn the place into a boutique hotel - but Alex has other plans. Set in stunning countryside and with thousands of tourists passing his door each week, why is Eamon not getting a piece of that trade? This has been his lifelong dream and if Alex can't turn his fortunes around fast he will lose it all...

Alex Polizzi is called to help Lantern Theatre and Cafe in Brighton ran by Daniel and Janette, who have been putting on shows at the fringe venue and studio space for 25 years. Their idea for an expansion to create a hub for local artists and a much-needed income generator has left the owners in debt, so Alex sets to work energising the business to try and avoid closure.
