The Greene King "Proper Pub" is still High In Demand for Consumers

Of food and drinks most expected to be found in a "proper pub" cakes and Danish pastries

attracted less than 1% of votes, and coffee and a range of tea gained just seven per cent of the votes.

A friendly landlord was thought essential by 57 per cent of people, and the idea of the pub as centre of the community is still important, put in the top three must-have ingredients by almost a third of those surveyed.

A beer garden (27 per cent) and log fire (22 per cent) fared much better in the survey than access for dogs (six per cent) and comfy sofas (15 per cent), while pub games were more popular among 18 to 24 year olds (31 per cent), and 29 per cent of all questioned thought "proper pubs" should be family friendly.

Other key findings included:

More people in the North East than anywhere else like to relax on a comfy pub sofa (25%)

Those in the North West have a passion for authentic pub games like pool and darts (32%)

People in the East Midlands are the most likely to want a friendly landlord (63%)

Log fire
