Most pubs serve food. I find the gastro bit, pretentious

The only food proper pubs need to serve is crisps and peanuts.
And at a total push just maybe chips in a basket.

All about the ones with a pie oven.
Lunchtime 'pie and a pint' offers are great.

So your plan is to serve low quality food?

I don't really understand why serving nice food in a pleasant environment is pretentious.

Nevertheless, I'm sure the good doctor will make this venture a roaring success!

Not at all, just keep the gastro bit out. GAstro generally is justan excuse for upping the price.

I think you've misunderstood not only the word, but also sensible pricing in order to turn a profit.
Are you sure you should be going ahead with this?

They charge sensibly at the moment, and turn sn excellent food profit. Basic pub grub, burgers, chips, all day breakfasts and a few chilies and curries.

If you serve better quality food, it costs more to produce so you have to charge more, in order to retain your profit margin.
Pretension has nothing to do with it.
It sounds as though the costs for the current menu are low, so they can sell it at low prices and still return a profit.

You are going to need to understand how these things work if you are planning on keeping your head above water.

It's ok though, because it sounds like he's taking over a shit, Northern working men's dive
and intending to continue running it in the same manner.
