“They are the hub of a local community where customers of all walks of life and of all ages mix easily and they are run by extraordinary, hard-working licensees who have adapted their establishments to fit in with the needs and whims of our modern lives.
“They are uniquely British and should be celebrated. We are very lucky to have them.”
