Summary

Pubs are a cornerstone of British culture. But with increasing numbers closing, and a long winter ahead, what can we do to save them? Ros Taylor is joined by Michelin star chef and hospitality champion Tom Kerridge to discuss how pubs are under threat and ways they may change in the future. "Even if pubs look busy, they are working to incredibly tight profit margins." "As people have become more health conscious, they don't go to pubs during the day – so pubs really need to change." "The days where pubs open at 12pm, turn on the fruit machines and wait for people to come are gone." https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Ros Taylor.
