I visit a pub in Buckingham , which seems to be setting a trend as to alternative options by being a coffee bar during the day ,and a Gin House at night.
It has a good £5 lunch drink, soup and Panini.
I also use another café in the town in its Meadow Walk ,and seems to do well.
Elsewhere even in Wetherspoons the coffee trend is there with more drunk than beer.

that doesn't serve coffee and food anytime of the day. They have a mix of normal pub areas but also an area with sofas and armchairs, and some have a restaurant area but it all runs one into the other with no defined barriers.
