Visit The Pub Curmudgeon site


The latest trend I’ve spotted in quite a number of pubs is, instead of spreading beermats out on the table, to make a little stack of them in the centre where once there would have been an ashtray. Perhaps this saves a minute amount of work for the staff, but it means you have to grab one to put under your pint. Given that it’s not an isolated instance, you have to wonder whether there’s a magazine column somewhere on “pointless things to do to make your pub look a bit different”.
