Why are the pubs closed so early, at 11 o'clock? It can be an exciting time from then but we have to go back home.

In addition, many pubs are so small we can't find a seat. We want to take our seats in a relaxed atmosphere and eat and drink, but few pubs serve food at night.

A full food service and a change to the ridiculous closing time would draw in more customers throughout the week, which might lead to lower prices.
