Leeds City Centre Pub Sold

On the instructions of the Spirit Pub Company, the Leeds Licensed & Leisure department of leading property firm Colliers International has sold the freehold of Spencer’s on Mill Hill in Leeds City Centre.

The property has a prime location close to the city’s railway station and retail heart and is a favourite haunt of the supporters of Leeds United Football Club.

The purchaser is Michael Chamberlain of Chamberlain & Co, a firm of business recovery professionals based in Leeds. Mr Chamberlain intends to relocate his Leeds office to the upper floors of the property.

Leigh Parsons of Colliers International commented: “It is quite rare to find vacant freehold properties in such a fantastic city centre location so it was no surprise that we had considerable interest in this opportunity from a wide range of potential purchasers.

“In the end we had a number of offers from both individual and corporate purchasers. We wish Mr Chamberlain well with his development plans for the property.”

UK Beer Sales Down

UK beer sales dipped sharply in the second quarter 2012, as poor weather, and the impact of another substantial tax hike in the March Budget failed to compensate for strong trading around the Jubilee weekend and the Euro 2012 football. These new sales figures come from the British Beer & Pub Association quarterly Beer Barometer, issued today.

The British Beer & Pub Association also says that the six per cent decline in sales means the tax hike has brought the Chancellor no extra revenues. Its Chief Executive, Brigid Simmonds, has called recent claims from Minister Chloe Smith that, the policy was helping to tackle the deficit, “misguided”. UK beer sales have fallen by 15 per cent since the controversial policy was introduced in March 2008, with beer duty up by an eye-watering 42 per cent over the same period. The BBPA and Oxford Economics believe this decision will cost some 5,000 jobs in 2012/13.

Great London pubs with big screens for watching the Olympics

If you're in London and don't have tickets for the Olympic games then you don't have to miss out on any of the action. With a city full of bars and pubs ready to welcome you, there's always somewhere to sit with a cold pint and plenty of sporting action on the big screen.

Yahoo Eursport have created a list of some great bars you can head to this summer to enjoy 17 days of sporting excellence.

British Beer & Pub Association Guide to Accessibility

A new guidance document published by the BBPA provides an essential guide on how to make pubs as accessible as possible. The guide has been given a warm welcome and a call to action from legendary Paralympian, Dame Tanni Grey Thompson, who has written the foreward.

An open welcome - Why being accessible is good for your pub, is available on the BBPA website and highlights the benefits of making a pub venue as accessible as possible for disabled customers, and why being accessible is good for business, too.

Writing in the guide’s foreward, Dame Tanni Gray Thompson DBE, says:

“With visitors coming from all over the world, there has never been such a good time for the Great British Pub to capitalise on its reputation as the home of hospitality and be as accessible as possible to all ... Be inspired by the tips and examples of best practice in this booklet and see what you can do, because if there is one specific and tangible legacy that this year’s Olympics and Paralympics can leave behind, it is one of access and inclusion for all.”

Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer & Pub Association, adds:

“I want to thank Tanni and partners from VisitEngland and Tourism for All who have helped to produce this new guide and to BBPA members who have provided case studies.

"Pubs are rightly praised for their warm welcome and excellent service. With over ten million people with access needs in England alone, this guide provides a handy reference tool for publicans and their staff on how to go that extra mile in making all customers feel welcome.”

Alcohol Calorie Content Questionnaire.

Most Brits overestimate the number of calories in beer, with women more likely to do so than men, according to new research by ComRes on behalf of the British Beer & Pub Association.

The survey found that one in five people (19 per cent) correctly estimated the calorie content of beer – fewer than for wine, where a quarter (25 per cent) get it right. However when questioned, women are significantly more likely to overestimate the calorie content of drinks (wine, beer, orange juice).

The survey found that around half (53-5 per cent) of respondents did not know the number of calories in a range of popular drinks. In fact you may be surprised to learn that beer is less calorific than wine:
• A half pint (284ml) of 2.8% ABV bitter (80 calories)
• A half pint (284ml) of 4% ABV lager (96 calories)
• A 175ml glass of 12.5% red wine (119 calories)
• A 175ml glass of 12.5% white wine (131 calories)
