Pubs (and cafes, libraries, churches, post offices, parks, etc) are important to have. They're what sociologists call third places. First place is your home, second place is work/school, and third places are places where people gather as a community and develop social bonds. Without third places communities become more fractured and people become more isolated and divided.

James is a great talker and I agree with much regarding his vision for his co-owned Pub. Meaning, his vision coincides with what I and my real ale drinking friends like in a pub (that sells food). The core question is to what extent the food and eating dominate proceedings. For us, a true Pub must always cater for those who want to drink/socialise only - in a separate area... and not feel squeezed out by the eaters. I realise that this is a tricky balance with income to think about and being a country setting too. Best of luck James and your team. We're not local enough to visit...but at some point...

I think that all of the pubs in the area that also have rooms to let, should each have a book in each room which contains a list of the other pubs and a description of each.

Still the best to listen to.

The facilities should be called 'Shake dry' and 'Drip dry'.
