We have used your pubs regulary for many many years and lately they are dying. The landlords/ladies are losing heart because of FOB. Why can your pubs a few miles away have such varied menus and FOBs pubs have frozen crap. People like steaks, gammon, mixed grills, scampi, fresh fish etc (i.e. HOME MADE FOOD not home cooked food - we all know the difference). You are taking the heart out of the village pubs. Now is the time to take stock of what you are doing and put the life back into the little local pubs before it is too late. PLEASE MR SMITH. YOU ARE THE HEAD MAN SO TRY USING YOUR HEAD
