Banter with the barber, a once-over with the clippers and a dollop of hair gel are usually on the cards when heading for a trim. But at one long-established premises in Southwell, people heading in for a quick short, back and sides could be getting more than they bargained for.
Punters at McCarroll's Barbers and Bar, as the name suggests, can enjoy a cool pint or a refreshing cocktail as they sit back in the barber's chair. Paul McCarroll, 48, first began operating a bar at the shop once run by his father in 2018.
Mr McCarroll says that this side of the business soon "took off" and customers can now enjoy a drink whilst getting their hair trimmed both in the day and later on in the evening. For those with an appointment before 12pm, they can instead enjoy a range of coffees and other hot drinks.
