Welcome...

After the success of last year’s BBQ to Beat Cancer, with over 500 Enterprise pubs hosting an event, Enterprise is once again supporting Cancer Research UK for its 2015 campaign. Read our tips for hosting your own BBQ and find out how to order Point of Sale on page 10.

This is also the time of year the tourist season gets underway. Explore the benefits of partnering with your local tourist office to maximise footfall at this busy time. Turn to page 28 to find out more.

According to research undertaken

by VisitEngland, disability access is particularly important to pubs. Customers with access needs can attract the spend of their entire party. See page 22 for tips that can make a big difference.

And finally, on page 30, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of two long-serving Publicans who have plenty of useful advice on how to have a successful and enjoyable career in the pub trade.

Congratulations to them both!

News & trends Live&Loud entertainment service Enterprise’s new partnership with Live&Loud aims to make it easier for pubs to book bands, solo artists and DJs in their area, helping drive footfall and improve profitability.

The new musical matchmaking service was showcased at the recent enterpriselive roadshows, and more than 500 Enterprise Publicans have now signed up for this new live music service that enables them to find and book local artists through an online platform.

Live&Loud has extended its free two-month trial offer for those Publicans who missed out at enterpriselive.

For a weekly fee of £25, pubs can access as many live acts as they need to book. Live&Loud has thousands of registered artists, covering the full spectrum of music genres.

Changes to the 2003 Licensing Act mean that pubs no longer require a licence for a range of live music, providing performances take place between 8am and 11pm and the audience is no more than 500 people.

Talk to your Regional Manager about Live&Loud or visit liveandloud.com

Pub entertainment deregulation Amendments to the Licensing Act came into force last month, cutting red tape for pubs wanting to host live music and community events.

Live Music - The audience limit for a performance of live amplified music in relevant alcohol licensed premises between 8am and 11pm on the same day will be raised from 200 to 500.

Recorded Music - Any playing of recorded music in relevant alcohol licensed premises will be de-regulated (on a conditional basis) when it takes place between 8am and 11pm on the same day for audiences of up to 500.

How to avoid debt during illness Long-term illness or disability can affect anyone of any age, from any walk of life or occupation. And people working in the licensed trade are no exception. The good news is that help is available, whether you or a colleague working in your pub needs it now, or at some time in the future.

The latest guide from Licensed Trade Charity Support & Care, How to Avoid Debt During Illness, offers practical help to those who find themselves facing money problems while taking time off sick. It covers the benefits you may be entitled to and advice on planning a budget and dealing with creditors.

To read the latest guide, visit supportandcare.org/moneyproblems/10887.html.

The free* Support & Care helpline provides help to those who are experiencing problems.

Call 0808 801 0550 or chat online at www.supportandcare.org. (* Helpline is free to landlines and most mobile networks)

What’s in season June Summer isn’t yet at its height, but already there are abundant supplies of delicious fresh flavours to bring your menu to life. Strawberries are the fruit of the season and long associated with Wimbledon fortnight. Serve with fresh cream, waffles with a strawberry compote, or in a fruit trifle.

Glass or Lego walk For those pubs that have already hosted a firewalk to raise money for the Little Heroes Cancer Trust, or if your pub doesn’t have an outside space for a firewalk, you can now host a glass or Lego walk inside your pub instead! Any parent who has stood on a piece of their child’s Lego will know that this is not for the fainthearted, but it’s all very safe and this free event is hosted by the charity for you. All they ask is for you to drive the donations by organising 15+ customers to take part. The charity also provides all the point of sale material.

For more information on this, or a firewalk, or to simply sign up today, call 01274 288188 or email anni@littleheroes.org.uk.

Charity shoot Congratulations to Regional Manager Nick Bolsover for raising £3,500 from his annual charity shoot, which Nick has run for the past 15 years. This year the funds raised went towards the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, based in Nick’s local area in Farnham, Surrey, Dogs for the Disabled, Action Medical Research and Guide Dogs.

Fresh fish is a popular choice for customers in the summer, and crab, mackerel and sardines are in plentiful supply right now. Crab cakes with a spicy salsa is a perfect summer dish and grilled mackerel is a delicious, nutritious fish, served with new potatoes and salad. Sardines are a great alternative offer for the BBQ.

Food

See summer sales soar with the Best of British food Food provenance is gaining importance on British menus. Serve classic dishes using local ingredients to give you the edge over your competitors.

Consumer interest in the provenance of the food they are eating had already started to take hold when the meat scandal broke in January 2013.

Since then, this trend has gained momentum and put the spotlight on the sourcing of food. According to Mintel, “Consumers are more likely to look for products of British, local and regional origin in the wake of the scandal, with the issue appearing to have re-affirmed consumers’ faith in the quality of British-produced food.”*

From the traditional Sunday roast, to a stunning summer pudding, pubs are well known for showcasing British food, and with classic dishes and locally sourced produce bang on trend, there are plenty of opportunities to maximise food sales.

The eating out market has grown over the last decade from around £30 billion to circa £47 billion*** and pubs are ideally placed to take advantage of this increasing trend by serving up food that customers love the most.

Customers regard traditional fare as an essential ingredient of By incorporating local, seasonal ingredients pub culture and classic in your food offer, you will deliver customer pub dishes offer a point of expectations for simply prepared quality food. difference to other dining experiences.

BBQ food Classic BBQ food, well prepared and presented, is another great way to pull in customers during the summer months.

Consider using locally sourced produce. Sausages from a local supplier, for instance, in a variety of flavours, and homemade burgers, will add further appeal.

Highlight British food on your menu, naming producers, rather than simply using the term ‘local’. And remember, British produce and quality doesn’t always have to mean local and small scale. National quality schemes like Red Tractor and British Lion eggs are also worth mentioning.

With Britain’s Got Talent 2015 in full swing, and a variety of similar shows on television, talent competitions are as popular as ever.

Running a talent contest in your pub is a great way to bring in free entertainment and enjoy substantial footfall for the event.

Singers, dancers, magicians and comedians are all in it to win it and will provide customers with a wide range of entertainment and keep them in your pub for longer. Obtaining the support of your local community to get involved and take part will help create a buzz and harness good will for the event.

You can either organise a one-off contest or one that has a series of rounds. A contest that has weekly rounds can help build interest, with more and more people likely to come forward to take part. This takes much more organisation though and a one-off event is a good place to start.

Holding it mid-week will help increase sales on a traditionally quiet night.

You’ll also need to consider how the competition is going to be judged, if the

audience play judge and decide who will continue on to the next round, or win on the night for a one-off event. Contestants will be encouraged to invite friends and family along for the gig to support and vote for them, increasing footfall and takings on food and drink sales.

The dramatic final of the 2015 Enterprise Pub Idol took place on 19th April at the Viper Rooms in Sheffield. This is the second year that pubs across South Yorkshire have been taking part in the talent contest, run by Enterprises’s Sheffield & Grimsby division. Altogether, 24 heat winners represented their local in a grand final sing-off.

Congratulations to Genna Spotswood, who won the £1,000 prize on the night and an experience at Songbirds Recording Studio to create her own CD. Genna, a 20-year-old nail technician, was representing her local, the Centre Spot pub in Base Green, Sheffield.

She said, “I’m always the first up to sing karaoke in pubs and bars, and have done occasional gigs in the past, something I hope to focus more on in future, now I’ve had this great confidence boost.”

The knowledge

A warm welcome for all

As well as enhancing a pub’s reputation as a community-led establishment, being accessible is good for business.

22

Accessibility is about making it easier for everybody to visit your pub. Being accessible is a positive way for pubs to bolster their reputation as the home of hospitality and to support their local and wider community.

It also makes sound business sense.

With more than one in six people in England and Wales having an ‘activity-limiting’ health problem or disability, a significant proportion of your customer base is likely to have specific accessibility requirements.

And as the population ages, this is set to increase even further.

When you make your pub accessible to everyone, you have the opportunity to increase your business. And with a £2 billion per year market* in accessible tourism at stake, there’s a huge incentive for pubs to make changes to capitalise on this opportunity.

If you have large glazed areas in your pub, consider safety markings. Is it possible for some people to have drinks brought to their tables? Are signs written in large, clear print and is your menu accessible for visually impaired people?

Staff training is also key to access success.

Excellent customer service goes a long way and staff that are well informed about access and have

Making small changes may be all you need to do to make your pub more accessible to customers with disabilities, and remember that needs vary.

Pubs in Bloom

Judging criteria Any Enterprise pub may enter.

The focus should be on making the outside of your pub look exceptional. The main criteria that entries are judged against are: Abundance: have all areas outside the pub been utilised, making them look attractive with planting?

Creativity: use of any unusual features or creative displays for customers to enjoy Kerb Appeal: how does it look to customers walking or driving past it for the first time?

Does the external planting and external appearance compel them to come inside?

Win up to £1,500 Enter this year’s Pubs in Bloom competition for your chance to win up to £1,500 to spend on your pub.

Making the most of the external appearance of your pub can create a real difference in driving footfall and sales.

Pubs in Bloom is a regional and divisional competition to recognise Publicans who work hard on their outdoor spaces so they look inviting, and customers can enjoy them across the summer months.

The judging criteria are all about how you use the available space you have, however big or small.

Beautifully presented hanging baskets or window boxes are just as likely to make a winning entry as a traditional beer garden.

All Publicans from each RM region within the 18 divisions are encouraged to enter for a chance to win.

For the first round, run at regional level, you should send photographs of your Pub in Bloom to the dedicated email address provided. All photographs will be judged against the competition criteria, with the best example for each

26

RM region being awarded the regional prize of £500 to spend on their pub.

All winners from the RM regions will then be put forward to the divisional round, which will involve visits to the pubs by the Regional Director, who will again judge the exterior or outdoor areas against the competition criteria.

The pub that is judged as delivering the

WOW Factor: is the outside of your pub dressed to impress, and does it stand out and give a WOW factor? Have you gone the extra mile to make a lasting impression

best WOW factor in each division will be awarded the divisional prize of an extra £1,000 to spend on their pub.

This is your chance to make your outside space look fantastic and win up to £1,500 to spend on your pub. We had some amazing entries in 2014, and the standards this year are bound to be high. Good luck!

How to enter: Take photos of your pub in all its floral splendour Email them to the dedicated Pubs in Bloom email address pubsinbloom@enterpriseinns.com Or post them to Pubs in Bloom c/o Marketing at Enterprise head office Include the name of your pub, outlet code and name of your Regional Manager so we know which region and division you are in Closing date for entries is Friday 7th August 2015 Judging will take place during mid to late August and winners will be notified after 1st September 2015 Prize money will be credited to R&M funds for winning publicans to spend on their pubs

Tapping into the tourist trade Maximise on tourist trade opportunities to deliver business benefits and significant sales.

At this time of year, when the tourism season is in full swing and visitors are travelling throughout the UK, there are significant business opportunities for pubs.

According to VisitEngland, tourism in England alone contributes £106 billion to the UK economy, highlighting the huge footfall and sales potential for your business.

Look for any opportunity in your area where there’s potential tourist trade.

Network with local camping or caravan sites and B&Bs to get them to recommend your pub for evening dining or drinking.

Develop a working relationship with a local coach tour company to get them to use the pub to stop off for lunch. If you have a large parking area, or there is space nearby, this will be a huge benefit to them. As coach trips can deliver a vast number of covers, encourage the company to ring in advance, and ensure staff and tables are available to meet demand.

If there’s potential to attract tourists from abroad, the opportunity to enjoy British food and drink, such as roast dinners and afternoon teas, in a traditional setting can be a real draw.

83% of people in the UK will take a break at home this year – up 17% year on year

50,000

For those holidaying at home, serving local fare can deliver the authenticity sought by native tourists.

If you’re located in an area that attracts walkers, being a dog-friendly pub can pay dividends. Make sure you are listed on the many websites and guidebooks for customers with dogs, such as doggiepubs.org.uk, and small gestures, like providing water bowls outside your pub will attract dog-owners in your area.

You can also grab a slice of the market by developing relationships with your local tourist office or attractions. Paul Gill, Regional Manager on the Isle of Wight, works closely, on behalf of his pubs, with Visit Isle of Wight and other bodies which aim to boost visitor numbers to the island. He says, “The way the pubs get themselves noticed is by piggybacking on events throughout the season and changing their marketing depending on the event. For a cycling festival, for instance, a pub will market itself as a safe place to store bikes overnight, as well as a great place to eat and drink.”

The way the pubs get themselves noticed is by piggybacking on events throughout the season and changing their marketing depending on the event.

Paul Gill Regional Manager, Isle of Wight

Explore all the marketing opportunities available in your area and use social media, online directory listings, and posters and leaflets to distribute locally. You can also drive impulse visits from passing tourists by signposting your offer. As well as using marketing materials outside your pub, investigate placing signage on nearby roads and footpaths, to encourage busy tourists to stop for refreshment.

Community

Let them eat cake!

The Women’s Institute is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and offers potential business opportunities for pubs.

A pub environment isn’t one that is readily conjured up when thinking of the Women’s Institute (WI), but that is exactly where many groups meet on a regular basis.

Targeting your local WI and offering them free space in your function rooms could be an unexpected source of regular revenue.

This year the WI will be celebrating its 100 th anniversary and WI Federations, as the regional groups are called, will be going all out with activities throughout the year.

In the same way that you might invite other groups within your community to use a function room in your pub for their regular meetings, attracting

community is important as we establish

Offer them a free meeting room in return for them buying drinks, teas, or lunches. If your local federation meet during the day or in the afternoon, you’ll be encouraging sales at a traditionally quiet time.

Publicans Jeff and Jess Mitchel of the Foresters Arms in Lower Cumberworth have hosted Stocksmore WI on several occasions. The women attended for two three-course meals, having travelled from almost seven miles away.

Jeff says, "It's fabulous to be able to support the organisation, and for them to make a large group booking with us.

We've only been at the Foresters for

ourselves. The WI is especially valuable – they're a good group and really well connected."

The National Federation of the WI (NFWI) will host its annual meeting at the Royal Albert Hall on 4th June with both HRH The Princess Royal and HM The Queen attending the event.

Why not invite your local members to a celebratory event on the day with a meal and drink offer, or a free glass of prosecco to toast the day.

Publicans & pubs in the spotlight Traditional values The Bridge, Amberley, West Sussex

A tour de force!

The Black Hat, Ilkley The Black Hat pub in Ilkley, Yorkshire, was renamed The Sir Gary Verity for one week ahead of the Stage 3 of the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race passing by the Church Street venue. The tongue-in-cheek switch was in honour of Welcome to Yorkshire chief executive, Gary Verity, who many in the county believed should have been knighted for his pivotal role in bringing the Grand Départ of the 2014 Tour de France to Yorkshire. Stewart Taylor from the Black Hat says, “There was some consternation, particularly among Yorkshire folk, when Gary was overlooked in the New Year Honours list, so we thought we’d pay an affectionate tribute to the man who had the vision and determination to bring the Grand Départ to Yorkshire, which many people didn’t believe could be achieved.”

Congratulations to Dave and Natasha Challis, Publicans at The Bridge, which has just been voted the West Sussex Pub of the Year, by local paper, the West Sussex Gazette. “It came as a complete surprise to us,” says Natasha. “Readers of the paper were invited to name their favourite pub and when we were contacted by the paper, we just thought they were ringing us to ask us to advertise! We were really shocked when they explained that we had won and asked us where we would like the award sent to.” Natasha said, “I think it’s the combination of being a traditional pub with a friendly service that helped us win on the day. It’s a warm and welcoming pub and that’s why customers keep coming back.”

Fine dining The Parkers Arms, Clitheroe The Parkers Arms in Clitheroe, Lancashire, has just added another accolade to the many already bestowed on the pub, having been listed as one of the Sunday Times’ Best 3 Gastopubs by food critic, AA Gill. Awards already received include the Budweiser Budvar Top 50 Gastropubs, Winner of the Taste England Award in 2014 by VisitEngland and a host of other awards and rave reviews. The pub is run by patron/chef Stosie Madi, her business partner Kathy Smith and Kathy’s brother AJ. Using the rich bounty of local produce, the country-style cuisine is given a light, contemporary twist, such as fresh salt marsh lamb reared at nearby Morecombe Bay, served with sea vegetables and clams from the shores.

Historical significance The Old White Horse Inn, Bingley Publican brothers John and Nick Marcham may be new to the pub trade, however, the pub they’ve taken over has a rich history as a coaching inn. The brothers took over running the pub at the beginning of the year and are in the process of taking it back to being a traditional old Yorkshire inn. There is evidence that a hostelry has been on the site since 1379 and the pub is an English Grade II listed building. Also otters have been spotted in previous years in the river at the back of the building. The brothers are waiting for confirmation that they’ve returned, before introducing Otter beer to the locals!

A dazzling display The Landor, Clapham, London Congratulations to The Landor in South West London being ranked No. 2 in Esquire magazine’s ‘Britain’s Best Pub Gardens’. Publican Alon Atzman, with the help of a local customer and landscape gardener, John McCormack, has transformed his space from a concrete courtyard into a secret garden. “I always knew it had potential and John had the vision,” says Alon, “It has a rare Mulberry tree, which isn’t listed, but we didn’t want to knock it down, so we tried to incorporate it into the design and built the decking around it.” Included in the planting is a vine, which yields grapes that Alon serves up on his cheese board during the summer.

Recruitment

The next step up the ladder After working their way up in the trade, taking on The Lethbridge Arms in Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton, was a natural career move for Publicans, Nick and Amanda Schofield.

Amanda Schofield has worked in the pub industry since she was 15 and husband, Nick, in the hospitality and restaurant trade since he was 16. Married with three young children, aged between four and nine, they took over running The Lethbridge Arms, in Bishops Lydeard near Taunton, at the end of October last year.

“We’re in our early thirties now and it

was a natural progression in our careers,” says Amanda. The couple spoke to the Enterprise recruitment team and looked at a couple of pubs before they chose The Lethbridge Arms. “We could see how we could make it work here; what needed to be done to make it into a success,” she says. “We’ve built up a range of beers, specialising in real ales, and the B&B is up and running again, which is an important revenue stream that wasn’t in use before.”

Amanda says that her Regional Manager, Peter Gatling has been invaluable.

“Peter has been a godsend, right from the start. He’s friendly and approachable and he knows what he’s talking about.

He’s been on the end of the phone 24/7.”

The Lethbridge is on the steam railway line between Minehead and Bishops

Lydeard, and is a tourist destination.

But the local trade has also been instrumental in helping to build up the trade. “Community is a big part of this place. We’ve got some facilities that other pubs in the area don’t have, like a pool table, and everyone comes for the functions and live music, and mums come with their children midweek.”

Amanda also recommends that any new Enterprise Publicans should take advantage of the Publican Channel. “It’s wonderful for getting banners and posters. And every time a new kit comes in Peter will ring us and if we’re interested, he’ll get it to us in a couple of weeks.”

With the tourist season underway, this should be a highly successful first year for Nick and Amanda, and their team.
