I'm sure there is much more they could and should do My son in law's father was a publican for decades and from what I have heard his relationship with the several breweries he worked for was far from a happy one.

BUT.................when after a few years the breweries found out how much money was being taken......they set their lawyers to altering the terms and conditions of the lease....which started off.. taking a %...which has steadily increased as a tenant you are screwed at every level............

Bigbob Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Well i am happy to go to spoons bus pass up the town save £3.50 on parking right away got a few books of tokens couple of pints and cheap food after my shopping should last to xmas if im carefull with vouchers Last time we where out as a group from work i pulled out the books and the only bad point was you had to drink the spirit named on the voucher probably one that doesnt usually sell . but once we had that sorted we had a great night and a meal to sober us up at the end . Then i went up to a group of girls and asked are you staying till closing time ,they warily said yeas why ?.and i gave them the remaining books so they could enjoy there evening . Fast foreward to when the pubs opened after lockdown we had another night out and next day one guy says what happened i spent £300 i cant account for so a few pubs are doing okay LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
