I'm going into my fifth year running a pub. One advantage we have is being free of tie. Mountain Ash was dead when we took the place on, but there's definitely been an upturn and two new bars have opened within the last few months. Not really competitors as they're more a real ale and dance music establishments. We're mostly live bands and sport the same as Wez
I've looked at venues in Cardiff. Maybe one day

It's a nightmare mate. I know a guy who was running a decent house for enterprise. One weekend he was running low on stock and he bought some crates of lager in. The rep turned up and saw them in the cellar. Within weeks he had a £4,000 fine on his doorstep
They had new tenants in soon after
