what no fosters
"Do I know where hell is? hell is in hello"
I think I would agree with him on most points as long as he don't make the place too foodie or as expensive as my local Pub which at £4.35 for a Pint of Old Thumper was the most expensive so far this year.
Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
He's getting it in the neck because he's famous but it happens all over. Pub gets turned into restaurant, locals get pissed off and don't understand that their £70 spent on low margin Fosters on a Friday night is nothing compared to the £150 a table of four will spend on high margin food and wine. But the incoming restaurateurs don't understand that pissing off the locals isn't the best way to succeed in business and can lead to bad vibes in the town, a slagging of in the local rag and if you're well known the Daily Mail.
So why on earth is it so difficult to incorporate a wet led public bar in the premises and then everyone will be happy? or is such a concept beyond everyone's comprehension these days?
I've been to the Angel a couple of times and always felt it was trading on past glories. It came across as more of a foody place anyway and if he wants to bring in more ales in place of mass market lagers then I for one applaud him although I suppose you ignore your regulars at your peril, the old Greene King/Harveys ding dong in Lewes being a prime example.
Depends if he then starts charging £5 a pint for them!Originally Posted by RogerB
Nor, he states, will he tolerate swearing in front of ladies or ‘laddish’ behaviour.
Sounding more & more like a place I would like visit
