	UK pubs sell more food and see less violence - Boston.com
		British drinkers are staying out later, eating more food in pubs and causing less violence in city centers -- behaving more like their continental counterparts, pub operators say.
		The new environment favors food-focused pub operators such as Mitchells and Butlers, which reported a 7.4 percent jump in food sales on Tuesday, and Regent Inns, which said a recent restaurant chain acquisition was looking promising.
		Regent Inns, which owns the entertainment-focused Jongleurs and Walkabout chains, said its recent acquisition of the Old Orleans restaurant chain would probably be followed by more deals in that sector.

		The approach is the latest in a rapidly consolidating industry, with a consortium led by the property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz working on a bid for the All Bar One owner Mitchells and Butlers.
		Regent had to admit recently that its cautious approach to the new licensing regime, which revolutionised pub opening hours last autumn, had knocked revenues.

		Quite a lively night out, a bit of a meat-market, but not in an intrusive way like at least one new pub I could mention (that is emphatically absent from this guide).
		If you're single there's a decent chance of pulling and the clientele are often quite attractive, although nobody really knows why as it's not really a trendy show-off-your-face-and-designer-labels type of establishment.

		REVIEW Ideally located in the centre of town, but with the character of a cheap international chain hotel, the Walkabout is the place to go when you plan to party hard and really can't be bothered doing more than stumbling back to your room from the bar below.
		The Walkabout is the Aussie super pub come to Britain and this one features bars on three floors - each one licensed for 600 party people.
		That means no early nights for you and a high chance of getting your drink spilled if you wander downstairs.
