Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Why should the US public listen to Lauren Boebert, the queen of hypocrisy tell us, "We need morals back in our nation" when her real-time video is the heartbeat of immoral? Why does her audio not match her video?

But now:

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

A range of alcoholic drinks

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?
