1- The nearest city can be any distance away and will be a cold dark place..
..so sooner or later the hungry survivors in there (a couple of hundred or so) will have exhausted the canned food they've been able to get from abandoned grocers and wiil head out into the countryside to hopefully pick up the odd brussel sprout or look for cows to slaughter, and before long they'll turn up at the Hall..
Here's a typical post-apoc scenario from 'Survivors 1975', they've got a vehicle and there's still enough petrol at deserted filling stations that can be hand-cranked up.
In the deserted adjoining grocers the rats are having a field day, but there's still plenty of canned goods the survivors can help themselves to..
