I don't think it's that big a deal anyway, ok so it's right by a motorway but all pubs are by roadsides anyway really aren't they, if someone was driving and really did want a drink they could leave the motorway and be at a pub within not that long usually. This might be more convenient but people are sensible enough to not suddenly start chucking drink down their neck just cos there's a pub in a service station. I imagine most of the drink trade will be things like big coachloads of people and that sort of thing.

I'd imagine the food trade would be their main aim tbh and having it at right by the motorway is a perfect place to get trade from people who are on long journeys and need to stop for food. I really don't think having a pub near a motorway is going to make people who wouldn't normally drink and drive suddenly decide to do so.

Over here people go to the pub on their lunch breaks alot for food, they have trays with pints of water lined up on the counter, pubs make big money on food.

So yeah, in short I don't see the problem
