oldbloke's mutterings

There's a scary number of pubs available freehold around that price. The pub business is in freefall, nobody can make money out of them anymore.
180k, +VAT, and prolly another 50k on renovations (the bogs need looking at for one thing). If I had, say, 2million handy, I might blow an eighth of it on the pub just to save the bowling green. Turn it into a private club with poker in the function room, maybe, or just convert it into a big house to live in (if planning allowed that). Or could maybe run a diesel-from-chipfat operation from it.
