If the Nap and the Chandos are not profitable, why are they the only pubs in the area to survive?
On the question of which pub to save, the Honor Oak or the Old Bank, doesn't really arise. The 'Old Bank' has never been a pub, it was a bank which was converted into a restaurant. The Honor Oak has always been to my knowledge a pub. We are losing too many old pub buildings to mini supermarkets and flat conversions. With the massive increase in local property prices the present pubco owners are presumably just waiting to realise their asset.
