“We are demanding the government uses the Autumn Budget to help pubs: rolling back on the hike in NI contributions, cutting VAT for pubs, introducing lower business rates, cutting tax on pints. These measures are needed to secure our beloved locals.”
If it's true about the Hopleaf, that's potentially bad news...

Pub 3261, Flowing Spring, Playhatch. What a beauty, where has this pub been hiding all my life? Oxon, that's where. Beware the road, use the field! The bitter is fresh on, some blokes are building a model Berkshire and want your electrics. Dad has gone to look at a river.

Lovely visit to The Bell in Aldworth in West Berkshire, UK today.
Built in the 15th century and grade II listed, and the only pub in the country with a Grade II interior!
It has been owned by the same family since the 1800s.
Well worth a visit.

Florence, Ermintrude and pals in a promotional image for the new bus
Three southern Oxfordshire pubs have launched a shuttle bus between them, encouraging locals and visitors to “enjoy a change of scenery or perhaps a good old-fashioned pub crawl”. The service is free for customers who spend £5 at each pub.
