Not enough government support for non-food pubs, says Brunnschweiler
The loss of Manx pubs is 'imminent' this winter if more isn't done to support those who don't serve food.
That's the view of Martin Brunnschweiler from Bushy's Brewery.
He's concerned current government support and voucher schemes aren't doing enough to help those who focus on drinks rather than meals.
He says there are challenging times ahead:
Isle of Man inflation eases slightly to 2.8% in October
Rising restaurant, food and tobacco prices continue to drive inflation, while energy costs help offset increases
