You can't tell us you've bought a pub then not tell us what you've decided to call it.

Call it "the office" "Where are you?" (slurred) "I'm in the office"

Pubs seems to be closing by the dozen - a combination of the smoking ban and the recession, no doubt - but the real ale angle gives me hope for the future. Nothing says repeat customer like a real ale fan.

I think that's the crux of surviving the recession, finding your niche. High street pubs that serve 8 different kinds of fizzy lager and jagerbombs are ten a penny, but somewhere that does a good range of micro/craft beers? And it's becoming popular too. I love trying new beers.

I understand the uneven contracts they have with their suppliers are a large part of the problem. Not relying too much on Fosters for the revenue sounds like a smart move.
