The Morning Advertiser informs me that a pub in Wiltshire, England, is giving away free food and drinks to customers.
The owners of The Roebuck Inn at Marlborough, Wiltshire, will be declaring dinner for all customers on the house at least once a month.
Licensee David Barrone : “The eat and drink free night will be a regular feature. Obviously we’re not going to be telling people the date of each event, but if they come to us for a meal on any Monday to Saturday evening, there’s a chance you’ll be dining free.
“Every pub and restaurant is running offers because of the economic climate, but as far as we know we are the only place in the country doing this.”
It could, possibly, be because it is a pretty shaky business plan…..
Can’t blame the bloke for lack of guts and effort. He does not need to gain awful lot of new regulars to turn it profitable.
