Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality
What does it feel like to "lose your looks" to age?

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.
The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?
