Episode description

Pubs may have been given a discount on their business rates bills - but with many landlords still suffering a post-Covid hangover, does it go far enough?

Last year, it was reported that eight pubs are closing in the UK every week - so can anything be done to save the great British boozer?

And is the government solely to blame? After all, the younger generation now seem to prefer lifting weights over necking pints.

Niall is joined by pub landlord Simon Wade and Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality.

Producers: Tom Gillespie & Emily Hulme
