I've been told the horns has closed because the brewery significantly increased the rent.

The breweries are destroying the pub trade with their greed.

A guy who owned a pub once told me that if he didn't own the building he wouldn't be in the trade, and that was about 15 years ago.

I think it's a ' pubco '

Star (Heineken) UK. Punch sold most of their pubs to Star and the rest to Patron Capital, they lease back the Patron ones. Star is the leased pubs business of Heineken UK.

Spittal Brook is now a Patron pub.

Possibly, but beer range actually improved somewhat at the Weston Saracens Head after Star acquired it

I've been a couple of times. You could sort of see they were struggling for money as they'd have a decent guest beer or two and then run out. So couldn't afford to have much stock in I guess. Food was decent enough.
