Find another pub - sad as it may be as it is a nice venue and the room is nice - but probably a little out of the way.

There will be a pub within a closish range that would like the trade I'm sure.

I had the same experience when we moved out of the pub in Farlington when Smiths canned all music. I found 3 suitable pubs within 5 miles who would have us and that was at a time when everyone was trying to turn pubs into restaurants. Now that that market is fairly saturated I think I could find more pubs that would have us as the regular weekly intake of 30+ drinkers is a good little earner in this day and age.
