In the news today the Rising Sun at Stockcross is now closed for good, which comes not too long after the Lord Lyon in Stockcross also shut its doors for the last time to be turned into flats.

So I guess the question is whether pubs (especially village pubs) are now viable these days and whether it is worth saving them or whether we should just mingle in coffee shops and just buy cheap alcohol from supermarkets instead?

Any thoughts?

The pub’s still there, you just have to find the best app.

And that's a nice pub as well, affordable.

And profitable? Just as a 'mom and pop' not sure the numbers would work for a traditional style pub.
