How to Save Your Local Independent Pub
Plunkett is the organisation that helps to start or save community pubs (and shops). It can reach out with expertise help, and sometimes get you discounts on insurance and other perks.
Many pubs are going to the wall, sometimes due to rising rents. Other times due to high beer tax. And often due to being bought by big chains that remove the seats and turn the music up loud, so you sup up quickly, rather than sit down and engage in conversation, over a ‘beer an hour’.
