Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun

Shane and Chrissy's poolside bar has only been operating for a little more than four weeks, and their beer supplies are already dwindling. Meanwhile, Lucy, an expatriate originally from Brighton, finds herself looking for romance; she is actively seeking a romantic connection.

The series centres on the modest venture of Shane and Chrissy, who have set up a poolside bar. The setting is a sunny poolside area where the bar serves its patrons, and the atmosphere is casual, reflecting the laid‑back vibe of a poolside establishment. The episode presents a snapshot of their fledgling business, highlighting the everyday challenges that accompany a newly launched hospitality spot. Having been in operation for just over a month, the bar is already confronting a practical problem: its beer stock is dwindling. As the days pass, Shane and Chrissy realise that the supply of beer is insufficient to meet demand, leaving them with the task of sourcing more before the shortage becomes noticeable to patrons. The dwindling beer supplies become a central concern for the owners, forcing them to consider how to keep the taps flowing. Meanwhile, the storyline introduces Lucy, an expatriate originally from Brighton. She arrives with a personal aim that diverges from the bar’s logistical concerns: she is actively seeking a romantic connection. Lucy’s quest for a romantic connection drives her interactions throughout the episode, adding a personal dimension to the narrative. The episode therefore intertwines two threads – the practical issue of a shrinking beer inventory at a newly opened poolside venue and Lucy’s pursuit of romance as an expatriate from Brighton. Both elements drive the action within the limited timeframe of the programme, and the episode balances these two narratives, showing how personal and professional challenges intersect.
