Are chain pubs killing independents?
Transcript
00:00So when was the last time you went to the pub and was it a chain or was it an independent?
00:04It was a chain. Now, do you want me to name it or Wetherspoons?
00:09I think it was probably Wetherspoons. However, I endorse Wetherspoons quite simply because
00:16two of my children are autistic, okay, so what we need as a family is to go somewhere
00:21where we know what exactly is on the menu. The last time I went to the pub was watching
00:27the last season Liverpool game and yeah, it was really good.
00:35And where was that?
00:36It was in the 80s.
00:38An independent pub is great, it's quite simply because of the fact that
00:43you can often get different types of beers, okay, and you can try ones from the locality.
00:50I've been to a lot of pubs in West Midlands, chain.
00:54Chain pubs, yeah.
00:54And then some original owners.
00:58Brewers Fir.
