I hope this pub does well in business after Christmas is over, as it's a brilliant gesture.

Oh I see what you mean, not bad business though and some full bellys too

It is a brilliant idea and a great thing to do, it would be nice if far more did so too and also all the Churches too, instead of preaching to everyone else that they should be doing something, while doing not a thing themselves.

They are probably expecting to recoup the cost of food on Bar Sales.
