I'd love more traditional pubs, but before we rush to give gastro pubs a kicking it's worth appreciating why there are so many of them. Given the wafer thin margins on booze it's nigh on impossible for a traditional pub to make anything even approaching a decent living. Couple that with supermarkets selling alcohol essentially as a loss leader then it's frankly a miracle there are any pubs still around. The village my mother lives in used to have what was known then as the finest real ale house in the south of England, with over 20 different ales on tap at any one time. It's now a (very) nice restaurant, bar & pizzeria. Do I miss what it used to be? Of course, but I understand why they had to do what they did to survive, and I'd rather these pubs still existed, albeit in altered form, than shut down altogether. |
