    LINO PIRES, A FAMOUS PORTUGUESE IN


    WARWICKSHIRE
    Born near Castelo Branco, Lino Pires only emigrated to England in 1960 because
    his brother-in-law did not accept a proposition to finance the purchase of a café. In
    the UK, he found the opportunity to have a business of his own.
    Lino Pires bought the local pub in Priors Hardwick, a small village in Warwickshire,
    in 1973 from a customer in a bar at two in the morning. He sealed the deal with a
    handshake and then asked where the pub was. When he arrived at the pub, he found
    a tavern, for just 10 or 12 guests. His wife was worried, but Lino Pires was confident.
    Over 20 extensions were built over the years. Some walls were constructed with old
    stone belonging to a church bought in ruins. The rooms are decorated with antiques
    from the region and also from Portugal. The tearoom is full of newspaper clippings,
    trophies, photographs and autographs.
    In 40 years, the Butcher’s Arms has become famous in the region, receiving more
    people than the 100 who inhabit the village each day. At the weekend, the number
    reaches up to 500 per day. The food is described by Lino Pires as “pure”, with fresh
    ingredients and cooked to order, without resorting to shortcuts such as microwaves.
    Lino Pires has a recipe to
    integrate Portuguese
    people coming to the UK:
    “Invite the English into your
    home. We can’t complain
    about the British being cold!
    We are the ones coming
    here and we have to make
    the effort to adjust to the
    English people. This has always been my philosophy and my wife’s too. She would
    bake a cake and invite a neighbour for coffee. That’s how we started to have as
    many friends here as we do in Portugal.”
    (Adapted from: www.portugalinuk.com)
