Pubs & Bars

 

“There is nothing yet which has been contrived

     by man, by which so much happiness is produced

           as by a good tavern or inn.”*
                                                                                                   

 

This is as true today as it has always been.  But with up to 20 pubs a week still closing in the UK and on-trade sales still falling, competition has never been greater.  Pubs & Bars are all faced with similar questions…
