Re: [Talk-GB] pubs with food franchises (Autumn Quarterly Project)

Whereas the actual phenomenon looks well dodgy, the tagging approach seems fine to me. It's not so different from the church hall which has it's own fhrs entry, but separate ones for the playgroup & the Wednesday OAP lunch club; or the school with entries for breakfast & after-school clubs.
