		<description>I work for 5 pubs and although the customer volume isn&#039;t as great as it used to be we make sure we provide as much as we can across a broad spectrum i.e. great, fresh food, menu available all day until 9pm a la carte or traditional/bar snacks PLUS Sunday you can have a roast or the usual menu. There are no limitations.

Sky is another matter - it&#039;s a HUGE expense for any pub and there are no guarantees people will come and watch. We have a different system in one of the pubs and they show all the premiership matches - but it is still hard to get drinkers in. There&#039;s no money to be made in drink especailly if you are tied - the only option is great food and events nearly every day and night to keep customers entertained!</description>

		<description>Well said Chris and @Fan Boy. I used to love the British Pub but now you have to drag me kicking and screaming into them. They have lost their character for sure!</description>

		<description>@mac you are correct, but &#039;back in the day&#039; I used to love a Sundat Lunch time in the pub in England, or a Friday Night Session with the lads. It all started to go downhill for me when the pubs all wanted to become restaurants, and then as @Fan Boy says, the supermarkets stepped in with cheap booze and that was the start of the end as far as the traditional pub went.</description>

		<description>Spot on Chris, but not the Pubs fault!!! Combination of Supermarkets selling cheap booze and smoking ban stuck the knife in, then the recession twisted it!</description>

		<description>That is quite a sad story.  It seems to me you have put down completely in Spain, and that world seems more normal than anything else.  This I can completely relate to.</description>
