The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) reports that the number of pubs has dropped by a quarter since 2000, from 60,800 to 45,800 in 2022. Their figures show pubs have been hit by the energy crisis, with the average bill rising to £18,400 a year.

Research suggests that pubs have fallen in popularity compared to other possible leisure activities for consumers, with the gym, streaming videos and cafe visits currently more popular.
