Business rates revaluation 2017 All commercial non-domestic properties will be allocated a new Rateable Value as of 1st April 2017.

New Rateable Values are in the process of being calculated by the Government’s Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and will be available for ratepayers to access online around September 2016.

In preparation for this revaluation, the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is sending out ‘forms of return’ to all business ratepayers, asking for information about their property and business. This is to help the VOA calculate and update the rateable values of all business properties, which are used by councils to calculate the business rates charged to business occupiers.

If you receive or have already received one of these forms of return, you should complete and Firework Code

£100 if not returned to VOA within 56 days.

The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) is urging licensees to check their valuations when they appear on 30th September, and has published an online guide to help pubs navigate the process. Businesses will be able to notify the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) of any obvious errors from September – and officially appeal to the VOA if there are any serious mistakes, under the Government’s ‘Check, Challenge and Appeal’ process, from April next year.

Water supply and sewerage de-regulation From 1st April 2017, water supply and waste removal services (sewerage) will be de-regulated. From this time, small medium enterprises in England only, will be able to buy their water supply and waste removal from any of the 24+ water companies in England. Scotland de-regulated the supply of water in 2008 and England (not Wales) is about to follow suit. So, from April 2017, if your pub is in London for example, you will be able to buy your water and waste removal (sewerage) from Yorkshire Water or South West Water, etc.

In preparation for the changes you will need to:

New £5 Note The Bank of England have issued new smaller £5 notes.

You will start to see the new notes over the coming weeks.

Once the new fiver has entered circulation, the Bank of England will gradually start withdrawing paper £5 notes as they are banked by retailers and businesses. You can cash in any old £5 notes with the Bank of England at any time.

1. Ensure you know the location of your meter and the serial number 2. Speak to your water supplier to ask them what plans they have for April 2017 and what rate changes there will be, if any.

For more information, speak to your Regional Manager.

In May 2017, the old paper £5 notes will cease to be legal tender and will no longer be accepted by shops. If, after May 2017, you find you still have some paper £5 notes, you will be able to exchange them at the Bank of England,

Camerons Thirst Blood Camerons Master Head Brewer, Martin “Dawn of the Dead” Dutoy, has created this devilish red ale in time for Halloween.

What was the inspiration behind Camerons Thirst Blood?

When putting together our guest ale program, we look at various aspects to decide what beer to feature in each month.

Firstly, we look at some of the key calendar events, and as Halloween features in October, we thought it would fit perfectly to have a pump clip design and name that acknowledged what is an established occasion in the year. The guest ale program also lets us experiment with new and innovative beer styles whilst keeping to the US theme - where Halloween has been so popular. We chose to do a US style red rye beer. We also thought the red colouring would suit the name and branding.

TO ORDER SEE 'ON THE DRAY' PAGE 39

What are the main ingredients?

Based on an American red rye beer, this rosy beer has a rye bread flavour mingled with tons of hoppy grapefruit taste – with a satisfying bitter end that smells like cinnamon, pepper and orange peel.

Who will this beer appeal to?

The name and design of the clip would be ideal for any venue looking to hold Halloween events. The distinctive clip and nod to Halloween has proven popular when featured on previous guest ale lists.

The unique beer style should also provide a point of difference for real ale drinkers who are looking to try something new.

season – slow-cooked game, casseroles and crumbles. The beer world echoes this with an array of autumnal ales. You only have to look at the colours and flavours of the beers in this month’s 'On the Dray' feature to see they mirror the hues of fallen leaves and the taste of toffee, caramel and spice infused oranges.

Out of all the beer seasons, this is definitely my favourite, because it offers so much variety in terms of flavour, produce and beer-matching opportunities.

CAMERONS THIRST BLOOD 4.3% ABV

Serve with a ham hock. The pineapple notes in the beer contrast with the saltiness of the meat to refresh your palate.

The intense rye bread flavour of this beer will taste great with pork belly, the zingy hops will cut through the fat in the dish.

CALEDONIAN AUTUMN RED 4.4% ABV

ROBINSON’S RED AND BLACK 5.8% ABV

The rye crystal malt in this beer will be perfect with a seasonal fruit crumble. Or try with a salty mature cheddar and crackers.

Pair this beer with lamb shanks braised for a long time in Red and Black. The meat will absorb the beer and taste great.

What to serve this

With party season just around the corner, planning your Christmas drinks range now will ensure you have a profitable festive season!

Additional footfall from office parties, groups of friends and families getting together will boost bar sales, but it pays to be mindful that you will be catering for a wider range of tastes than usual – so it’s important to stock up on a broad range of beers, wines, spirits and not forgetting soft drinks too.

Whiskey is another warming tipple associated with winter, whilst Irish Creams like Bailey’s always sell well over Christmas.

Wine Prosecco remains one of the fastest growing products across all major drinks categories, and as people push the boat out over Christmas, it’s important to also stock up on Cava and Champagne too. Providing suggested food pairings on red, white and rose wine will also encourage upsell – for example a crisp white wine with turkey and fish dishes or deeper reds with roast beef.

PRICING STR ATEGY Plan a profitable pricing strategy

What do I need to consider?

Regular reviews of your pricing structure and overall business offering are a key factor in driving sales and maintaining a profitable business, but how and when and how should you get started on your strategy?

• The average price of a drink varies depending on geographic location.

When should I start planning price rises?

• Planning ahead now will not only put you in good stead for 2017, but will help you absorb annual supplier price rises in the New Year.

• Customers are less cost-conscious across the celebratory Christmas period, the introduction of new menus will help you drive festive sales and boost takings across December and beyond.

• Price increases pre-Christmas will help support any discounts or promotions you run in January.

• Carry out market research by seeing what your competitors are charging and analyse their pricing structure in comparison to yours.

• Ensure you offer customers value for money, whilst maintaining your profitability.

What’s the ideal pricing structure?

• Implement a good-to-better-to-best product and pricing strategy. This roughly translates into house or standard range, mid-range and premium products, the latter driving higher gross profits.

• Make sure that the price jump from good to better to best isn’t too large, to encourage upsell across your entire range.

• As a rule, prices should be based on the level of gross profit that you want to achieve whilst remaining competitive.

How can we help?

Take advantage of the support tools available from Enterprise to assist with your pricing strategy planning, including the gross profit calculator, which is accessible via the Publican Channel at enterpriseinns.com or contact your Regional Manager for more details.

football Football is the most popular televised sport in the UK and can generate a sizeable profit opportunity for pubs that screen it. The Premier League matches will be on TV until May 2017 and offer countless opportunities to attract fans into your premises – especially with new Friday night matches, which will bring in the after-work crowd.

Sports drinkers spend an average more per person when watching football

£3.53

During popular matches, expect a busy bar and be prepared in advance. Fans will seek a quick service to avoid missing out on any action or commentary, so ensure you have enough staff working to handle the extra demand. Table service and half time pre-ordering options will also help ease pressure on your bar team. Beer is likely to be one of the most ordered drinks, so deals on buckets will sell well.

FOOD…

80% of people drinking Make sure your kitchen is prepped for the pre-and post-match rush. Offer sharing platters and hand-held foods that are easy to eat whilst watching the television, such as chips, chicken wings, pizzas, burgers and hot dogs. Make sure your bar is well stocked with snack foods too – crisps, nuts and pork scratchings will be sure winners.

Bringing the Community back to the pub

When Publicans Alasdair Stewart and Tracey Houchin took over the The Coffee Pot Tavern in 2011, they saw lots of potential to create an outstanding establishment, but they had a long journey ahead to convince the local community that the pub could once again become the hub of Yardley Gobion, a small village on the outskirts of Northampton and Milton Keynes. " The community had really lost faith in the pub," explains Tracey. "We knew we were going to have to work really hard to turn things around, and we faced competition from some really popular pubs in nearby villages."

28

Fast-forward to 2016, and The Coffee Pot Tavern couldn't be further away from the run-down pub it once was. “We saw real potential in the pub from day one. The location itself presented us with plenty of opportunities to attract customers – it’s on the Grafton Way walking route, so there was potential to attract ramblers, cyclists and dog-owners. It’s not unusual to see a dog in the bar area – we provide dog treats, food and water bowls too.”

"Silverstone Circuit is really close, and has big events on every weekend. It became clear that people visiting Silverstone were looking for overnight accommodation, and the pub had the space to provide letting

rooms. It was a real labour of love, but Alasdair renovated two en-suite bedrooms, and now we’re full to the rafters with people staying with us year round, so much so we’re now in the final stages of getting a third room completed."

“With the letting rooms up and running, we realised that we needed somewhere of the same standard to serve breakfasts.

The pub had an old games room, which was just dead space, so we decided to renovate that too – it's now a coffee shop – which in its own right is performing brilliantly as a business – bringing in customers to the pub who previously wouldn’t have visited.”

e knew we were going to have to work really hard W to turn things around, and we faced competition from some really popular pubs in nearby villages The introduction of the coffee shop has not only generated an additional revenue stream, but serves as a space for local community groups to meet. “The WI use the coffee shop as meeting space, as do Slimming World, who come in for a treat after their weekly weigh in! We also act as a clubhouse for a group of local bikers, who also host a festival in our field each year. It really is a community space, everyone is welcome!”

Located between two commuter towns – Milton Keynes and Northampton – the pub attracts a wide range of customers, and is popular with families over the weekend and holidays. “We had ample outdoor space, and we were aware of a lot of young families moving into the area from London, so Alasdair set about creating a safe and welcoming environment for children, building a tree-house, play equipment and even a wooden locomotive in the garden – it’s a big hit with the little ones!” says Tracey.

With further investment from Enterprise, the exterior of the pub was revamped to reflect the quality of the interior of the premises. “Since January, we have seen a 50% increase in turnover” Tracey explains.

“This is more than just a business to us.

We’re so proud of what we’ve achieved and delighted to have been so well received by the local community.”

Regional Manager Nigel Moore is as impressed as the locals with the pub's magnificent turnaround. “Tracey, Alasdair and the team have completely rebuilt the business from pretty much scratch, and The Coffee Pot Tavern now has a clear long-term future and has cemented itself as the beating heart of the village for the first time in decades. Their uncompromising standards and innovative, forward-thinking approach to developing the pub's proposition, paired with hard work and sheer perseverance has really paid off. Congratulations to the team!”

S P O T L I G H T The Winchester Arms launches radio café concept Winchester Arms, Taunton Publican Ian Evans has teamed up with a local radio producer to launch the UK’s first pub-based radio station at The Winchester Arms in Taunton, Somerset.

Ian, who has run The Winchester Arms for three months, will re-brand the pub to become The Atlantic Radio Café, and broadcast live from October.

He came up with the creative idea with long-term friend, Brett Orchard, who has a background in radio producing.

Quizathon The Crown Inn, Sheffield The team at the Crown Inn is preparing for a quizathon this November, attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest ever pub quiz.

Ben Taylor, company director and landlord, started looking into quiz World Records and found the current record held in America, to be at 33 hours and 8 minutes, so is taking on a 36 hours challenge to beat it.

The Crown Inn is hoping to get more than one hundred customers to attend over the two and a half days, and will be required to maintain at least two teams of four at all times throughout the quiz.

Sponsor forms and buckets will be on the bar throughout the quiz, and each person taking part will be requested to donate £1. Along with a fundraising sky dive by six of their customers the pub is hoping to raise £5,000. The fundraising
