No, seriously, it had been adapted, at quite some expense. They had to use a specially reinforced lintel. The whole facade of the building had to be remodelled, actually, to accommodate this widened entrance: took a long time, too, and there was a fair bit of paperwork, because it was a listed building. Still, the landlord felt that it had been worth the investment of finances and effort, because his concept was that the dilated point of ingress gave the venue a welcoming atmosphere, and he predicted that this would result in an increased footfall for the pub, and therefore increase revenue. And, on this evidence, he was probably correct; after all, at this one randomly selected moment there were no fewer than three customers entering the business simultaneously.
And two of them had travelled quite some way to be there.
