WELCOME

to the latest edition of our newly refreshed Value For Venues Greene King and Belhaven Free Trade Services magazine.

A

s we move into September and October, the focus shifts from peak Summer trading to making the most of early Autumn occasions, changing customer habits and the return of more regular routines. With schools back, evenings drawing in and customers looking for cosy, welcoming places to eat, drink and spend time together, this is a key period to keep momentum going.

TOP PICK! Crisp & refreshing PAGE 44

For me, this is also a brilliant time to celebrate one of the true cornerstones of the Great British pub: cask ale. From Cask Ale Week to Autumn food occasions, Halloween, half-term and the build-up to the festive season, there are plenty of opportunities for our Free Trade customers to showcase quality cask, drive footfall and give guests a reason to discover something new on the bar. In this issue, we’re shining a spotlight on cask ale, exploring why it remains such an important point of difference for pubs and how the right range, quality serve and seasonal line-up can help you make the most of the months ahead. Alongside this, you’ll find drinks deals and promotions to help refresh your offer, add value and support a successful Autumn trading period. Everyone at Greene King and Belhaven looks forward to working with you and supporting a busy, successful September and October ahead.

Your support needed to champion

VAT CUT for Hospitality

MOMENTUM HAS ACCELERATED THIS YEAR BEHIND CALLS FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE THE RATE OF VAT PAID BY HOSPITALITY IN THE UK.

W

ith pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and more all seeing costs increase significantly in recent years, there is increasing awareness of how a cut in VAT would give all hospitality businesses the boost they need to continue serving their communities for years to come. Led by renowned chef, publican and TV presenter Tom Kerridge, the VAT’s the Problem campaign is calling for a VAT cut from 20% to 10% for the whole of the hospitality sector. Its aim is to reach a million signatures to demonstrate to the Government the strength of support behind this. Greene King is backing the campaign and is pleased to share a letter with our readers from Tom Kerridge on why your support is so important.

to sign the petition & head to the website shop to download & order campaign material.

ISSUE NO.24

SEP- OCT 2026


DEAR ‘VALUE FOR VENUES’ READER,

O

ur sector is under huge pressure. We know it. We live and breathe it every day. We know that the key to unleashing hospitality’s potential to grow and thrive into the future comes through a VAT cut. We’re making sure Government knows that too, and we need your help. That’s why we’ve launched #VATsTheProblem. It’s a nationwide campaign for all hospitality businesses to unite behind a call to cut VAT for hospitality to 10%. In Europe, VAT rates run anywhere between 8% and 12%, whereas we sit as one of the highest with 20%. That needs to change and we need your help to push this message to Government, your guests, your customers and the public at large. We’ve launched a petition, and we’re aiming to get a million signatures supporting a VAT cut to 10% for hospitality. Now is the time for hospitality to galvanise behind this campaign. Three hospitality businesses per day are closing. We need them to stay open, we need growth, we need to bring youth unemployment down and we need to secure the future of the most exciting sector that we have. Our ask is simple. Firstly, visit www.vatstheproblem.co.uk and add your name to the petition, or scan the QR code next to this letter. Secondly, help spread the message in your venue. Displaying #VATsTheProblem posters, beer mats and other campaign materials is a simple way to raise awareness with customers and encourage more people to get involved. All the campaign assets are on the website and you can either download materials to print yourself, or order them to be delivered directly to your venue. Be part of a movement that aims to get hospitality recognised and taxed in a much fairer way. I know that the Government is listening, but we do need to push hard. Ask every single member of your team to sign the petition, and ask them to rally their friends and family, too. Let’s all get behind the campaign, make our voices heard and bang the drum for hospitality! Big love,

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR HOSPITALITY TO GALVANISE BEHIND THIS CAMPAIGN.” TOM KERRIDGE

CASK F ALE

or pubs, bars and hospitality venues, that makes cask a powerful point of difference. Whether you are serving loyal regulars, encouraging midweek visits or giving curious drinkers something new to try, a well-kept cask range can help create conversation, drive footfall and add theatre to the bar.

A PROPER POINT OF DIFFERENCE

In an ever-changing drinks landscape, cask ale remains one of the defining features of the Great British pub. It is distinctive, characterful and, most importantly, something customers cannot recreate in the same way at home.

ISSUE NO.24

SEP- OCT 2026

This September and October, cask has an even bigger moment to shine, with Cask Ale Week running from Thursday 17 to Sunday 27 September. It is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the category, refresh your range and give customers a reason to explore what is on the hand-pull.


Why cask still matters Cask ale is more than just a drink; it is part of the pub experience. It offers provenance, craft and tradition in every pint, while giving venues a genuine reason for customers to choose the pub over the sofa. For regular cask drinkers, it is a trusted favourite. For others, it is an opportunity to discover something different. The key is making it easy, approachable and well-presented. A clear range, confident team recommendations, quality glassware and simple tasting notes can all help customers feel comfortable trying something new. Cask also works hard for venues. It can support quieter trading periods, encourage repeat visits and give regulars a reason to check what is new on the bar. When served well, it becomes a marker of quality and care across the whole venue.

SPEAK TO YOUR SALES DEVELOPMENT MANAGER ABOUT BUILDING THE RIGHT CASK RANGE FOR YOUR VENUE AND MAKING THE MOST OF CASK ALE WEEK

A seasonal ale line-up gives venues a simple way to keep the bar fresh and link the range to key trading moments through the year.

Make Cask Ale Week work harder

Quality starts in the cellar

Cask Ale Week is a ready-made reason to put cask in the spotlight. It gives venues the chance to celebrate the category, encourage trial and create activity that feels social, relevant and easy to join in with.

A great pint of cask begins long before it reaches the glass. Cellar standards, temperature control, line cleaning, stillaging and stock rotation all play a vital role in delivering the flavour the brewer intended. For customers, quality is everything. A well-kept pint builds trust and encourages repeat purchase. Greene King supports venues with practical cellar guidance and support materials to help teams maintain standards day to day.

Simple ideas include tasting flights, a “beer of the day”, chalkboard tasting notes, team recommendations, quiz nights, live music or social media posts showing what is currently pouring. The aim is to make cask visible, accessible and worth talking about. Even small touches at the bar can help customers feel more confident trying something new.

Trial, rotate and reduce risk A successful cask range should balance consistency with discovery. Core brands give regulars confidence, while seasonal and rotating ales give customers something new to try. For venues that want to expand their range without overcommitting, smaller formats such as 4.5G pins can help support trial and maintain freshness. They are particularly useful for quieter trading days, seasonal specials or venues introducing cask to new drinkers. Tasting flights can also help remove the fear of choosing a full pint. Offering smaller serves encourages exploration, supports upsell and gives teams a natural way to start conversations about flavour, style and recommendations.

Stock with confidence Greene King’s Cask Iron Guarantee gives venues added confidence when stocking Greene King cask ales. If any Greene King cask ales go out of date, whether broached or unbroached, venues can claim a full refund for unbroached casks and credit for the remaining volume on broached casks.*

The final pour Cask ale remains one of the pub trade’s most distinctive assets. It brings heritage, flavour, theatre and a genuine reason for customers to visit. With the right range, strong cellar standards and simple promotional activity, cask can work hard throughout September, October and beyond. From trusted favourites such as Greene King IPA and Belhaven 80 Shilling, to modern choices like Yardbird and seasonal ales, make cask a standout part of your offer.

*Excludes 4.5G pins. Cask Iron Guarantee terms and conditions apply.

BUILD THE RIGHT RANGE

Greene King & Belhaven’s cask range gives you the flexibility to build around trusted favourites, regional appeal and seasonal variety.

HISTORY

JACK PALMER, WHO HAS BEEN IN HIS ROLE AT GREENE KING SINCE 2022, HOLDS MASTER BREWER STATUS AND HIS PREVIOUS JOBS INCLUDE WORKING AT GUINNESS IN DUBLIN. WITH CASK ALE WEEK ON THE HORIZON, HE WAS QUICK TO UNDERLINE WHY HE FEELS THIS NATIONWIDE CELEBRATION IS SO IMPORTANT. “Cask ale is what makes British brewing special, I think when you get cask at its best you can’t beat it, it’s brilliant. I do think it should be celebrated more, I’m actually waiting for the trend to go full circle, because cask is the purest form of beer. It’s coming straight out of the tank into the cask whilst it is still fermenting and then you’re drinking it. It’s what makes British pubs unique.” With such a loyal customer base the responsibility of maintaining the quality of old favourites such as IPA and Abbot Ale is huge. But it is one that Jack thrives on. “There is a recipe book – and when you first join it does take you a little bit of time to understand how each beer is made. IPA is pretty much unchanged from 100 years ago. Abbot Ale is 75 years old now and that will have changed very little too. It reached the final of Great British Beers last year, which was great recognition for the work that we’re doing.”

expect, our calendar focuses on the time of year in which the beer will be consumed. The seasonals give us a chance to try different things as well. We’ve experimented with stouts and fruit flavoured beers and that’s key for the cask offering moving forwards.” It is a job Jack is clearly passionate about - with Greene King’s portfolio providing him with the perfect balance of old and new. “I love being in the brewery with all the nice smells and the smart kit that we have. The lovely thing about Greene King is that we combine the heritage of our traditional cask ales with our new product development work too and the development of new premium beers like Level Head and Pilfer has been really exciting.” “I never forget that it’s our heritage that makes us unique, but we’re aiming to make history with our new beers too now.”

In addition to the curation of those classic beers, the firm’s Head of Brewing is overseeing an exciting range of new cask flavours too.

Another important aspect for the brewing team is ensuring that when the beer leaves the brewery it arrives at the venue in the best possible state.

“Our seasonal cask offering has really developed and as you might

beer up to 200 times. And we taste every cask batch before it leaves us to ensure the end customer is getting exactly what we expect.” Jack is also in regular contact with the marketing team to discuss the industry’s latest trends, including the growth in Gluten Free and low and no options. “Our Gluten Free bottled products are proving very popular and this is something we are certainly looking to expand upon. In terms of alcohol free, the market is going from strength-to-strength and there have been huge improvements in taste in these over the last few years. The technology is advancing all the time and we’re constantly looking at it.” With exciting developments in place Jack has every reason to be optimistic about Greene King’s brewing future. “Whenever I go into a venue with our beers on, and I see people in there drinking them, it makes me incredibly proud. And with our new brewery opening in 2028 we are set for another exciting chapter, one that secures the future of brewing in Bury St Edmunds.”

VENUE An iconic

with a warm welcome For the last nine years Davina Sasha has been in her role at the Royal Albert Hall, a world-renowned venue with 5,500 seats available for each of the 400 plus shows that it hosts. However, the considerable challenge of over two million customers passing through their doors each and every year is one that the Hall’s Head of Partnership and Hospitality clearly thrives on: “The focus for our department is our customer’s experience from the moment they arrive at the building before they go into the main auditorium. We have done a huge amount of work over the last five years to make our bars and restaurants more of a destination and to give them specific identities in their own right.” And part of that exercise has seen Greene King work in partnership with the iconic venue to rebrand two of its busiest bars. “We’ve been working with Greene King since 2010, which is a really long time and our deal was renewed at the beginning of this year for another three years. The great thing about the relationship is

With insights revealing that most people who attend a show at this historic venue purchase at least one beverage - from a soft drink to a glass of champagne – this provision is a vital aspect for Davina and her “Through our relationship with team to get right. Greene King we have also been “Our customers appreciate the provenance of products like introduced to Estrella Galicia, these as opposed to something a great family-run brand with more generic. It is our aim that a real interest in the arts and their first drink should be culture.

We’re seeing huge growth in these “The Hall is a really joyous place. categories.

“The focus for our department is our customer’s experience, right from the moment they arrive at the building.” By her own admission the Royal Albert Hall is a unique operation that requires careful consideration. “Our Account Manager Paul is our main point of contact, and we have him on speed dial! Paul has taken the time to understand how we work operationally, and we have spent time over at Bury St Edmunds too. The highlight of our relationship is that we have both invested time in understanding each other’s businesses.” “We’re a very ambitious organisation and we are always mindful about who we partner with. As time has gone on, we have really examined why we want to partner with different companies. It’s about a lot more than a transactional relationship for us, and in the case of Greene King it is clear that we share common societal goals.” The ability to adapt has also been one of the main selling

points for Davina and her team and she provides a perfect example when Greene King’s flexible attitude helped to improve the customer experience. “Last year we brought Sumo back to the UK for the first time in 35 years. It wasn’t just about the sport though, we wanted to provide people with an experience of Japanese culture, and we wanted to reflect that in our food and drink offer too. We don’t usually stock Asahi, but Greene King understood why for that week alone that we wanted to, and in supplying it they contributed towards a much more immersive experience.” The Hall which first opened its doors over 150 years ago is undoubtedly one of the world’s most iconic concert halls providing a diverse array of performances. It’s a fact which makes Davina and her team all the more determined to protect this jewel in the nation’s crown for future generations. “The most rewarding thing about my job is seeing people’s

excitement and anticipation before they go into the main auditorium to witness something special. It’s clear that all the artists love it too, because there is a big arena feel in an intimate space, so they get that connection with the audience. “As a Grade 1 listed building every tour has to be modified ever so slightly in order for it to work here, so it becomes a bit more personal to our space. I feel I can honestly say that what happens here doesn’t get repeated anywhere else.” Paul has worked with the Royal Albert Hall team for over a decade now and he is proud to work alongside this prestigious customer: “Working with a venue that holds over 400 shows a year means you’ve got to be able to adapt and always be on the front foot. There is a real trust and understanding in the partnership which allows both brands to complement each other. It’s a long-term relationship that continues to go from strength-to-strength.”
