    I was talking his afternoon to someone who operates a successful pub in the Dover District.

    The finances behind the pub trade are absolutely frightening and heavily stacked against success.

    The only way forward is to own the freehold whereupon one might get a reasonable return against investment.

    A tied pub is going to cost C.£50,000 to the brewery p.a., this means you need about £1000 a week, after outgoings just to break even. Allegedly this saw off the Yew Tree.

    I was especially worried to discover the financial state of various pubs which are owned by a 'local brewery'.
