Watch this space for more news, but if you think you may be interested send us an email and we will send you further information and a start date.

4p on a pint!!!
We were extremely surprised by the government’s increase beer duty. Not only does this come at a time when the pubs are still trying to recover from the impact of the smoking ban, it also comes at a time when our industry has been hit by drastic increases in raw material costs that have, to some degree, been passed on to the pubs. Current statistics show that at the present rate, four pubs are closing every day. The government stated that this increase will help kerb binge drinking – utter balderdash. The only way price will have an impact will be to control the price at which supermarkets sell alcohol. Increasing prices in pubs will only drive sales through the supermarkets who often use alcohol sales as a loss leader.

Now more then ever, this is a time to support your local!
