Hello and welcome to our February issue of Venue Insight Magazine, THE MUST HAVE publication for the UK hospitality industry.
CONTENTS Do you feel like Christmas was a lifetime ago and that summer feels even further away???
Don’t fret, there is so much to look forward to and we’ll do our best to pack in as much as possible to keep you with a smile on your face until the warm glows of spring start to come in.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner we list some awesome cocktails that are sure to get your customers in the mood. Brockman’s ‘Clove Actually’ is a must! Liverpool’s Ex-Directory bar is……well, I guess you’ll have to find out for yourself won’t you.
Pub 17 is an absolute must for anyone in the trade. We preview this great show within and tell you everything you need to know about your visit on 7-8 February.
We finish our preview of ScotHot, Scotland’s largest food, drink, hospitality and tourism trade show which takes place 15-16 March. It’s sure to be a fine spectacle.
Lobbyist, figurehead and quite frankly, the hospitality industry’s very own superhero Kate Nicholls of the ALMR tells us about her role and why the organisation is so important.
Our friends at Global Brands tell us how operators can maximise sales in the RTD category by staying on top of trends and stocking a range of products and flavours with a point of difference. Enjoy!
