This conversion is accelerating. There was an excellent pub in Clapham
(Flying Squirrel) that shared a grid reference with a campsite and served
the most amazing rabbit pie....it's gone down the conversion route.
Apparently there simply isn't enough money being spent in the rural pubs
to
make them viable when they are not sheltered by the profits of other pubs
in
a large chain.
Flying Horseshoes. Yes, quite a lot between Ingleton and here are going
(that, Goat Gap, Cross Streets are the three I can think of) - but there are
still quite a few left, and the better ones aren't chain and aren't
suffering. (good beer, good food and a decent passing trade are probably
key. Goat Gap and Flying Horseshoes were both a bit hidden, and the Cross
Streets never looked great.
cheers,
