Mick and Linda Carter have mulled over all their options and have no way of financing the renovations. They're going to have to hand the pub over
Mick realises he's going to have to tell the punters the bad news. He asks Fi to step in and explain things in more detail to the regulars, secretly realising they'll be a backlash – and there is!
Meanwhile, Honey suggests doing a 'safari supper' as a way of raising some cash. Michelle, Carmel and Kim help out and Karen offers to make the puddings. She asks Honey for some cash for the ingredients – so Honey feels obliged to pay out of her own pocket.
There are not many takers for the supper idea and the girls barely make a profit. It's hardly going to help The Vic stay open. What else can be done to save their local?
Mick prepares to break the news to his regulars telling them the renovation costs leave them no option but to hand over The Vic to the freeholders.
