All interesting stuff. Adnams are the White Knights of the pub Co's as they cancelled rent during the lockdown. Greene King despite their smoke and mirrors excuses still charged full rent to their tenants even though they had no income. Same with the greedy Reuben Brothers - owners of the Wellington Pub Co - worth 18 billion and still screwing their tenants.
Wetherspoons vary, some up here in flat cap land are full of grey haired old drunks (no not me) and are quite unpleasant and intimidating. There's one on York which is OK and I agree, the Beccles one is better than most. They are OK for grub, it's not Egon Ronay but it's cheap and predicable. I've no time for the owner though. To be fair the staff are, generally, polite and helpful even though I think they have poor pay and conditions.
