    Default Marston's boss interview

    Good pubs are doing really well, whereas pubs which aren’t attracting people will close, and I cannot see how protecting bad pubs which aren’t giving customers what they want is going to help anyone.

    Findlay bases his pubs around the F-Plan. ‘This means females, family, food and forty to fifty-somethings,’ he says

    Yes I've been in some of their new build pubs.

    My B Plan - Bland - Boring - Bad Beer, not my idea of the future of pubs.

Guinness doesn't seem to be that popular, there's a regular in my local Spoons who used to drink it but now drinks Ruddles. If you're going to drink rubbish you might as well drink cheap rubbish.

    That's a pretty impressive hit rate, LC. By comparison, of the 56 listed in the 2014 GBG (still haven't got this year's) I've managed 49. Must try harder.
