Best Pub Pork Sausage Award

Best Pub Pork Sausage Award

I do like to keep an eye open for these competitions targeted at our traditional pub meals. I mentioned in a previous post about the pub walk being nominated as an English Icon. Well, the banger has got to be another good candidate for this title.

The British Pig Executive (BPEX) is running the search for the best pub banger in association with the trade magazine The Publican. To find out more and read about last year’s winner click on Best Pub Pork Sausage Award.

Once the results are announced, these will be included in the Pub Awards section of our free newsletter The Pub Walker and if you would like to be included on our newsletter mailing list just click on subscribe.

Value For Money More Important than Quality of Pub Food?

According to a new study of eating habits by the British Pig Executive (anyone heard of them?), value for money is the main factor for 25% of consumers when they choose a pub to eat at. The Publican covers the story and says that quality of the food is a lower priority at 18%.

It is interesting that the report, ‘Pork in Foodservice’, highlights convenience or location as the primary factor for eating out generally (rather than for pubs specifically) and this is thought to be due to time pressures.

It leads me to wonder whether pub walkers would place a greater emphasis on the location, or should I say walk, rather than elements of the pub. Certainly I would but maybe this could be an interesting survey to carry out later ...
