Pub refurbs

yes standard procedure.

a good traditional pub always comes out lookingh like a mcdonalds after a refurb

I am only 31yo. i grew up in pubs, proper old style pubs, country pubs mainly. In my naivety I honestly thought they'd always be the same, on the contrary. They are universally sh.t now. Bistro pub w.ank holes full of w.ankers.

agreed.

give it a few years and they will be paying again to recreate traditiona pubs that won't quite be the same.

luckily enough i live in a village with 2 pubs, and both of them are as close as you get these days to proper pubs. one of them doesn't even have a fkin bar, the beer is served out of the cellar. it will never change, and the brewerey will never sell it. but i'd buy it tomorrow if i had money and they'd sell it. just 2 sticking points unfortunately.

i stayed at a great country pub when back in the UK last week stone floor beams open fires good beer good food and looked after like I had been going in there for years and it was genuine hospitality the pub 8 bells in Bolney Sussex

They've slowly realized they can make more money selling food than drink so 9/10 pubs have gone down the gastro route. A lot of bars you are treated as a second class citizen ordering just a drink and are given about 1/10th of the establishment to drink in.
