Our Story
An Introduction to Tam and Luke
If someone had told us in May 2023 that we’d be opening our own bar in a year I think we’d have thought them a bit mad!
Here we are though in May 2024 and The Nook takes its place in the heart of Woburn. A dream we didn’t really know we had has become a reality and we’re so looking forward to welcoming you all to what we’ve created. When the opportunity to take ownership of the venue came along, we barely skipped a beat and from our first visit in late 2023 we knew we had to go for it. For both of us it was a chance to build something together and be part of a special community in Woburn.
We wanted to create an experience that we’d enjoy ourselves. So many times, we’d been out and been disappointed by the drink, cleanliness, atmosphere, or the impersonal nature of the service. More than once we discussed how we could do all that better. That is our aim. The last five months have been exciting, exhausting, frustrating, eye opening and so much fun as we’ve developed the look, feel and concept of something we think everyone can enjoy.
We are a work in progress for sure and we will grow and evolve as time goes on. We really hope everyone who comes to The Nook can be part of that evolution and part of our community.
