Our local is a free house.
Owners rake in a fucking fortune.

Same here, a good free house is a gold mine.

This place is.Good booze, good clientele and staff, nice food, just pricey.

I think we have similar locals,
But I don't mind it bring a little pricey because it's always good.

Beer is not too bad, 2.80 pint for their house ale. Food os steep though.

They mark up a lot on the grub, beer prices not too bad.

An independent owned house can make a lot of money
There's no shortage of beer or food suppliers.

You loose the Carling drinkers - but if you want a good boozer it's no loss.

This place is a real ale boozer.
You get punters from all over, coach trips etc. It really is a goldmine, but the pwners stick some zerious hours in.

Location is important,
Some places can't support the pricier things. And not everyone has the skill or kitchen to make a destination place work.

Got a good amount of locals and lot of passing trade. The guy does a lot of beer festivals etc.

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Wed 19 Feb 2014, 19:30, Reply)

I bet he puts some serious hours in.

the guy who runs that little business basically spends his life going around tiny microbreweries, sampling and selling them. nice work if you can get it.

It's only nice work if it's making you a profit.

Pub is basically their life. Social, work everything really.

We've dismissed chains
But my local is one of these:-

It's a small chain but well placed.
