Britain’s greatest pub owner guest edits The Morning Advertiser
In his editor’s letter, Ball, who owns the Red Lion & Sun in Highgate, north London, the operator outlines what it is that makes a pub great.
The guest editor also commissioned the issue’s Spotlight article, asking MA reporter Robbie Mann to investigate how social media and casual dining are contributing to the “dumbing down” of the eating-out sector.
Ball said: “They can’t boil an egg at home, but they’ll happily tell you that your risotto is too wet.
“Around 10 years ago, if you said burrata, people would have no idea, now it’s standard on most pizza chain menus, resulting in customers being more product-aware.”
