In this episode, we sit down with Bhavani Baumann, the trailblazer who is veganising Australia's deeply entrenched pub culture with her 100% vegan pub, The Chippo Hotel.

Located in Sydney’s inner suburbs, The Chippo is a historic venue that Bhavani has completely transformed into a vegan pub and bistro. From parmis, burgers and loaded fries to local craft beers and cruelty-free cocktails using aquafaba, The Chippo has fast become a neighbourhood favourite.

Bhavani takes us through the daily realities of running an independent small business in the current economic landscape, and the secrets to winning over skeptical non-vegans. As a female publican, she shares what is top of mind when creating a safe and inviting pub atmosphere.

Finally, we explore who Bhavani is outside of work – delving into her life as an independent singer-songwriter and how she finds balance amidst the demands of business ownership.
