UK Pubs are Tourist Favourite
Visit Britain has found that The UK Pub is a big draw for tourists visiting the country.
In individual areas of the country, the pub was the main event.Foreign tourists were lured to the North-East last year particularly by its exuberant pub and club scene, vibrant football and spectacular coastline. A greater proportion of foreign visitors went to the pub (67%) than any other area of England.
Overseas tourists were lured to Yorkshire last year particularly by the county’s outstandingly beautiful countryside and villages. Some 55% of foreign holidaymakers who visited Yorkshire headed for rural areas, the highest proportion in Britain. Yorkshire’s nearest rival in this respect was Scotland (52%). A higher proportion sampled the local pubs (60%) than any other area of England apart from the North-East and East Midlands.

Nottingham Pubs Forced to Use Plastic Glasses
Pub landlords in Nottinghamshire have been warned they could be forced to use plastic glasses, reports the BBC. Officers in Retford and Worksop said despite glassing incidents being rare, a recent case had emphasized the damage they could do.
Now pubs not using plastics on busy nights would face a fast track review of licensing conditions which force their use full time, police said.Pubs said they had to consider cost and branding regulations.

Christmas Drinking Survival
Alcohol Concern has come up with these top tips for safer drinking for Christmas partygoers - whether you’re going out or hosting your own celebrations.
What is a unit of alcohol?
Women can drink two to three units of alcohol per day and men three to four units a day without damaging their health.
As a rough guide:
one pint of normal strength beer contains two units
one 25ml measure of spirits contains one unit of alcohol
one 175ml glass of wine (12 per cent abv) contains two units and a 250ml glass contains three units
one 330ml alcopop (4.5 per cent - 5.5 per cent abv) contains one-and-a-half units to two units
one 440ml can of strong lager (4.6 per cent - 6 per cent abv) contains three units
Home measures are often larger, so watch the size of your drinks.

Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill; 24 Hour Licence Clampdown
The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill is proposing a £4,500 levy on pubs and bars that wish to open after midnight. Bill also proposes giving the public more power to influence licensing decisions.With the introduction of late-night levies, there will be greater penalties for serving under-age drinkers, with fines doubling to £20,000 for persistent offenders.
Teresa May has said that the 24-hour licences have failed to produce the benefits of a "cafe culture" and tougher action is needed to tackle alcohol-related crime and disorder which costs the taxpayer up to £13 billion each year.
The Home Secretary did reiterate the Government's intention to bring in the ban on low-cost sales, though there is no mention of such a measure in the bill.

New Prospects London Pub Landlords
A planned sell-off of properties by Mitchell & Butlers (M&B) is set to open up a range of new opportunities for investors looking into the possibility of renting a pub in London.
Coming as the firm continues with its plans to move away from drinks-oriented establishments and concentrate its efforts on dining-centric venues, it has confirmed that it is to put 53 pubs on the market.
As well as offering the assets to their existing tenants to buy, the Independent reported that M&B will also be looking to sell them off to a range of other investors, potentially spelling good news for anyone thinking of renting a pub in London or elsewhere in the country.
Speaking to the newspaper, a source within the hospitality industry explained that a number of prime properties, including several with no obvious branding, are set to come onto the market in the coming weeks.
"These are rather large, rather nice, rather interesting pubs," the insider noted.
This comes soon after Bloomsbury Leisure Group outlined its plans to open a unique beer house in a historic property in the grounds of Euston Station to the Publican.

Britain's Pubs Now Sell More Food Than Beer
For the first time ever, Britain's pubs are now selling more food than beer, the Daily Mail reports.
According to data compiled by Mintel, 72 percent of Britons visit a pub for its food menu, versus 63 percent who visit for a drink. Special menu promotions have enticed diners, which offer more adventurous food than they typically would eat. At the same time, value-priced meal deals have also resonated strongly with consumers.
Overall, pub visits and alcohol consumption has dropped significantly in Britain, as 2009 saw the biggest nationwide drop in alcohol consumption since 1948. Consequently, the number of pubs throughout Britain dropped from 59,000 to 52,000.
Helen Spicer, senior food analyst at Mintel, offered this advice: "Pub food has had to adapt and now bar snacks and menus have become more variable from value ranges to more up-market offerings. For some venues, catering has become more important than serving a pint."
According to Mintel, the consumer leisure market has changed dramatically in recent years, with an emphasis on spending time at home leading to greater competition in the dining out market.
"Add to the mix cheaper and more accessible alcohol from supermarkets, the recession, rising tax and duty and a smoking ban and the pub sector has faced what has been dubbed the perfect storm," Spicer said. "The question is not whether the pub industry emerges unscathed from the recession it's too late for that but how it will absorb punishing tax measures and emerge to compete in a leaner and more 'consumer-centric' pub environment."

Pubcos Struggle
Britain's biggest pubs group, said it would not pay a dividend in the current year and expected trading conditions to remain challenging, sending its shares down 11 percent on Tuesday.
The company stopped paying dividends in May 2009 to help reduce crippling debt of nearly £4 billion . Enterprise Inns disposed of 579 pubs during its fiscal year, raising 166 million pounds and generated proceeds of £114 million through a sale and leaseback programme. This helped it reduce net debt by £374 million to £3.3 billion.
Its estate now stands at 6,820 pubs valued at £5bn. Punch sold off 43 pubs during its year and has an estate of around 6,500. Both said that they intend to continue disposing of non-core pubs in the near-term.
Another rival, Mitchells & Butlers, announced yesterday that it has completed the sale of 330 "drinks-led" pubs to Stonegate Pub Co.

Do children ruin a trip to the local pub?
Pub landlords increasingly have to deal with abusive and aggressive behaviour from parents who have been asked to keep their children quiet, according to the Good Pub Guide.
But does the presence of children ruin a visit to the local? Or does it make it more enjoyable? The BBC's Tim Muffett has been finding out.

Community Pubs Minister Appointment
The position of pubs minister has been brought back by the government after calls from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).Conservative MP, Bob Neill, will take up the role previously filled by John Healey, which was scrapped after the last election.
Neill stated: "The local pub is a great British institution and the social heartbeat of life in our towns and villages, bringing people together and strengthening community relationships.
“As minister with responsibility for pubs, I am determined to protect the valuable role pubs play and help them to thrive.”
CAMRA’s head of policy and public affairs, Jonathan Mail, said that the group was “delighted” with the change in government thinking.
“It is vital that the pub and beer sector has a powerful voice within government to help oppose calls for ever higher taxes and restrictions on pub opening houses.
“The government also has a role in creating an environment which enables pubs to succeed and helping communities save valued pubs under threat of closure,” he added.
Other British beer and pub associations were quick to announce their satisfaction with the news, claiming it showed how seriously the government took the threat of pub closures.

Essex Council to Help Local Pubs
The Morning Advertiser reports that Licensees of rural pubs can apply for 50% grants of up to £5,000 for those who want to develop essential services under the Council’s Rural Enterprise Fund.
The scheme mirrors similar initiatives that operate elsewhere but this is the first to be launched since it was revealed that local government budgets would be slashed in the Comprehensive Spending Review.
John Longden, chief executive of Pub is The Hub, which has been involved in the scheme, said: “We are delighted to be working with partners in Essex to help retain and improve local services, helping businesses thrive and bringing residents together via the pub as the heart of the community.”
Hosts can find out about the funding at an open day on Thursday 4 November at the Essex Village Shops and Pubs Day in Danbury Village Hall, near Chelmsford.
Pub is the Hub advisor Terry Stork is due to attend the event, hosted by the Rural Community Council of Essex, to provide advice for licensees.

Bars to create pub jobs for British Pub Week?
Bars across the UK could soon be creating more pub jobs as they prepare for the start of British Pub Week.
Running from October 30th to November 6th, the week aims to celebrate the role that pubs play in the local communities and society as a whole.
"Pubs are so much more than places that sell alcohol, they are unique and they are for all - from the old-timer who visits his pub to see his pals, to the families, couples and friends who meet up for special occasions," founder of British Pub Week, Inez Ward, told Punch Taverns.
She went on to say that uniting all members of the pub industry in preparing for the week had been a "fantastic experience".
Earlier this month, auctioneer Mark Jenkinson & Son told the Star that more pubs will start to be put up for sale in South Yorkshire over the coming months.
Running from October 30th to November 6th, the week aims to celebrate the role that pubs play in the local communities and society as a whole.
"Pubs are so much more than places that sell alcohol, they are unique and they are for all - from the old-timer who visits his pub to see his pals, to the families, couples and friends who meet up for special occasions," founder of British Pub Week, Inez Ward, told Punch Taverns.
She went on to say that uniting all members of the pub industry in preparing for the week had been a "fantastic experience".

Whitbread Reports Jump in Sales and Profits
Pub and restaurant operator Whitbread has reported a near 30 per cent rise in its pre-tax profits in the last six months, reports the Publican
Reporting half year financials to September 2, the Beefeater and Brewers Fayre-owner said total revenue was up 14.5 per cent to £805.4m from £703.3 in the previous six months.
Over the same period, like-for-like sales were up 7.8 per cent.
Profits before tax were £151.8m – up 28.4 per cent from £118.2m.
Whitbread chairman Anthony Habgood said the increase was down to the company adapting its business model to offer more value deals during the recession.

Greene King Ads Back "Proper" Pubs
Greene King has launched a major £1.5m national press advertising campaign extolling the virtues of its “proper pubs”, reports the Morning Advertiser.
It is the first major national media pub campaign since Greene King sponsored Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway a few years ago.The campaign launched at the weekend and will run for six weeks across a variety of broadsheet and tabloid titles - and it will be repeated in the Spring.
There are a total of six different full-page adverts, each talking about the unique service and experience that a pub offers.
“The Parched Hound” advert, for example, reminds consumers that any of its pubs will happily provide a water bowl for your dog — “All you need to do is ask”.“The Glass on the Grass” advert, which appears in the Daily Telegraph this morning, reminds consumers that “pints in plastic aren’t proper”.
Greene King chief executive Rooney Anand said the campaign derives from research that shows consumers want very traditional things from their pubs.
The company’s research had shown the word that consumers use most regularly in relation to their notion of an outstanding pub is “proper”.He said the campaign was a signal that Greene King wanted to invest in the pub market and is timed with British Pub Week in mind — it runs between 30 October and 6 November.

Local Councils May Gain Control of Alcohol Pricing
Local councils are set to get the abililty to crack down on cheap alcohol.
The Government is reported to be considering moves to let councils block alcohol offers at supermarkets and off licences if they are dramatically undercutting prices charged at pubs.
It follows a report which exposes the easy availability of cut-price booze in the UK and the damage it is doing to the nation's collective health.
Prime Minister David Cameron is already backing plans by ten councils in the North West to create a by-law making it illegal to sell alcohol for less than 50p a unit.
He said: "I think the idea of the councils coming together on this is a good one and we will certainly look at it very sympathetically."

Punch Taverns Sell Off 1300 puBs
The Guardian is reporting that Punch Taverns have plans to sell 1300 pubs following the announcement of losses of £160 million.
New Chief Executive Ian Dyson said he wanted to stabilise the business -- where pubs have been battling the ill-effects of a smoking ban, duty increases and recession -- by increasing food sales, reducing debt and pruning its ailing tenanted estate to a core of 4,700 pubs over the next two to four years.
That would be a 40 percent reduction of its leased estate since a peak of 7,500 pubs three years ago.
