20 Reasons Why We Need a Pub!

A place to meet friends to enjoy a few drinks
A place to eat a meal out
A venue to hear live music
A place to watch major sporting events
Pubs help to create a sense of community
Local pubs provide a venue where people can get to know their neighbours. This helps individuals to develop a sense of belonging and safety; especially important for vulnerable or isolated groups in society such as older people, carers and people who live alone.
Pubs are the best place to consume the Great British Drink, real ale. Nothing beats a cool, refreshing pint served by handpump or straight from the barrel.
A place to hold large village events.
A place to have family functions and parties.
A place for community clubs and societies to meet.
Pubs can provide a drop-off and collection point for a wide range of services. This is also helpful for disabled people or those with limited access to transport.
Pubs are a focal point and often help to promote and sell tickets for other local activities, amenities and events, as well as providing information for people.
Pubs are the most popular place where people can mix socially with others from different backgrounds.
Pubs are a great supporter of charity, with over £3,000 raised per pub every year.
Pubs are a place for people to make new friends- more than one in five pub goers has made a new friend in a pub in the past six months.
A pub will provide employment for local people
A local pub, employing and serving local people and visitors throughout the year helps to ensure that money stays within the local economy and community, especially if local suppliers and contractors are used to supply goods and services.
Local pubs help to reduce the distance people and goods travel on the road, especially when people can access a range of goods and services. Buying local supports the local economy, saves food miles, reduces the need for excessive packaging and helps the environment.
Having a pub in the village increases local house prices
The Great British Pub is a uniquely wonderful institution and part of our culture and history. Taverns and Inns have been in this country since the 12th century!
