Despite easing in Covid restriction, the pandemic appears to have affected people's appetite to head out to their local pub. Almost one and a half BILLION fewer pints were sold in British pubs in 2021, compared to two years previous. That's according to the British Beer and Pub Association, who say that represents a 38 per cent hit in sales. Emma McClarkin is their CEO and Michelle Lewis is the landlady for Cookson's Bridge Pub.
