Quality Report
Ask any licensee what the benefit of doing regular staff training is and you’ll get a range of answers: guest satisfaction, a motivated team, staff retention, and better brand quality.

This has clearly...
How To Do Food And Beer Matches
It would be wrong to say beer is better with food than wine, or wine is better than beer. They just do completely different things: the carbonation in beer can act as a palate cleanser, spritzy hoppy beers can cool the heat of fiery chillies, and malty beers complement most cheeses and roast meats.

Robinsons Launch ‘Best In Glass’ Scheme in Relentless Quest For Beer Quality
T he 180-year-old Stockport-based family brewers, ROBINSONS, have launched a new quality assurance scheme – ‘Best in Glass’ – in a quest to improve beer quality across their 260-strong tenanted and managed pub estate.

How To Promote Your Beer And Pub On Social Media
Pubs rely on word-of-mouth promotion to get people through the door and buying their beers. Increasingly, this form of promotion is taking place on social media, where users are telling the world about their night out and ‘checking themselves in’ to a pub online.
It’s now, therefore, becoming increasingly vital that pubs use social media in their favour to build...
Time For A Beer Spring Clean?
Most successful businesses give themselves a health check at least once a year to make sure they are maximising profits, reducing wastage, motivating staff and generally running their company with efficiency. Pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants are no different – a general review of practices and premises is a good way to unravel any bad practices or behaviours. So the...
Majority Of Consumers Prefer To Drink Local
The majority of real ale consumers value independently owned breweries, with nearly three out of four (74%) ale drinkers who expressed an opinion saying they are concerned that small independent breweries are being bought by larger multinational drinks companies in the UK, according to new research conducted by YouGov.
The respondents expressed further concern...
Siren’s Broken Dream Breakfast Stout Is Named The Best In Britain

Majority of Britons find the price of a pint unaffordable
The majority of people in Britain could be struggling to afford drinking beer in pubs, with new research by YouGov revealing that 56% of people surveyed who expressed an opinion believe the price of a pint of beer in a pub in the UK is unaffordable.
