British Sausage Week, 3 - 9 November 2008

British Sausage Week, 3 - 9 November 2008

Many of us love the traditional Sausages and Mash that feature prominently on any self-respecting pub menu. In fact it is our most popular meat choice when eating out, according to The British Pork Executive (BPEX for short), so it clearly sits high on our list of pub favourites!

British Sausage Week this week will mean many pubs are celebrating with special menus and offers, making an ideal excuse to try some locally made speciality sausages at a pub near you.

Finding the Best Children's Menus for Your Family Pub Walk

Finding the Best Children's Menus for Your Family Pub Walk

Is the quality of children's meals about to reach centre stage in pubs? That may overstate it but the recent launch of a new accreditations scheme and website Catered4thekids could certainly help.

The scheme will ask pubs to ensure their children's meals meet a set of criteria ranging from the sourcing of the meat to a healthier soft drinks range. It will include a mystery visit to test the pub's claims too before acceptance onto the scheme.

As we all know, even supposedly children-friendly pubs frequently have a children’s menu that is both uninspired and unhealthy. Chicken nuggets and chips prevail whilst fresh vegetables make rare appearances.

However recent research by him! shows we families are a free-spending bunch and families who visit pubs spend an average £5 more per person than the average pub customer. This makes the family pound an ideal target for pubs trying to make up their takings after the smoking ban, higher costs and a generally tough 2007.
