It's been the case for a long time that the average local will only survive on the strength of it's food offering. The smoking ban aside it also seems that less and less families are eating out so in many cases the writing is on the wall.

We have this lovely old thatched pub close by called the Holly Bush in Little Leigh which is one of the oldest pubs in the country: the bar is no more than a little counter and hole in the wall. A few years ago it was refurbished, modernised and transformed into a food oriented pub but in the process lost much of it's character so either way you can't win.
