A shame if true, sign of the times with pubs. We need to support our locals or lose them forever.
More for the club bar I suppose but a terrible shame nonetheless.

Sorry to hear that The George has closed we used to go in there occasionally when we were in Alty. My lad has a pub fortunately it does very well with both wet sales and food but he has also had a couple that struggled and sadly that is the norm rather than the exception these days

I wouldn't think it would improve enough if it's doing that badly
