Pub-goers want atmosphere
NZPA-AAP London Publicans are a big cause of the declining popularity of pubs and the slump in beer and spirit sales, a survey has claimed. The survey, commissioned by the Canada Dry soft drinks firm, has revealed a serious gap between the attitudes of landlords and customers, the “Daily Express” reported. While seven out of 10 publicans believe that their customers are “very satisfied," only four out of 10 customers agree. To pub-goers, the atmosphere is more important than prices and products, and they do not want their local drinking hole to look and sound like a high-tech laboratory. Eighty per cent do not want more electronic games and 60 per cent do not like background music. The report on the survey says: “Half of all age groups questioned are going to pubs less frequently. Moreover, they arrive later and drink less. “Women and younger people do not have the same affection for the pubs as, say, older men,” it says. “They will quite happily try somewhere else for a good night out.”
