  Yes thats the problem I would suspect Howard..probably empty all week or near as dammit! but with a flourish at the weekend. The problem here is that its quite a relatively remote pub, so little passing casual trade. Very few guys would go out for a pint there, as very few guys live around it. So as a result their trade would be, I would guess, as a direct result of their marketing/advertising campaigns. An advert in the local paper telling me it was an award winner and included in the Good Food Guide interested me and sucked me in, as always its good to have a place of good food guide standard on our doorstep.
  
  The Leisure industry is currently being badly hit..notable names are falling by the wayside. The High and Dry, The Churchill, The Yew Tree...will there be more?
  These closures have nothing to do with a smoking ban either.
