| Called in at the Lymington Arms one Wednesday evening a few weeks ago just after 9 p.m. to find it shut and the landlord sitting on a bench outside in the sun enjoying a pint. Firstly, its worrying as the next two pubs we called at that evening were also closed. There has been little lunchtime trade for country pubs like these for the last ten years unless they are in well-heeled places like the Cotswolds or within a few miles of a city and if there is now no evening trade either then there is not much future for them as pubs. Secondly of course the 'I'm closing 'cos there's no trade' theory is self-fulfilling. If trade turns up and finds the place shut it goes somewhere else. I think the old rules where pubs had to be open set hours were more encouraging to drinkers like myself who go round assorted different venues since whichever pub you went to, barring fire, flood or pestilence you knew that they would at least be open even if the beer was foul! malingerer - 7 Aug 2014 18:16 |
| Went to The Lymington for a birthday celebration, we enjoyed a few pints of real ale before our meal, (which was excellent) then sat around the bar afterwards chatting to the locals. A very enjoyable evening. fullersesb - 21 Sep 2012 12:04 |
