| David - I think you missed my point. The LTN doesn't apply on Sunday therefore it won't discourage people coming from Sunday Roast. I also doubt it has that much impact for the rest of the week. You can come in and out easily enough from the North, East and West - it is just from the south that it is awkward and they have lots of nice pubs on their side of the river to choose from. Perhaps fear of being inadvertently caught out by a set of confusing restrictions will discourage some people from visiting. The site had been given a competitive advantage by parking changes in the Strand on the Green area which have not been helpful to the riverside pubs so a new tenant may have had a chance of winning back some of the last customers. It would, I think be the only pub in south Chiswick where it was indeed easy to pull up and park nearby. There is no pretending the site isn't challenging but I still think a case could be made for its viability. The biggest issues would probably be an unsympathetic landlord with a vested interest in your failure and flats upstairs unavailable for staff accommodation. You brought up the Carpenter's Arms and therefore introduced James Blunt to the discussion. You are probably better placed to me whether he is capable of running a successful pub. I haven't heard about Mr Donnelly's pub venture - can you tell us more? |
