Pubs urged to engage with would-be MPs
BBPA produces action kit for members
A trade body is urging licensees to engage with election candidates prior to May 6 as part of a bid to “challenge misconceptions” and talk-up the industry.
The Publican reports that the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) has produced an “action kit” for its members with ideas on how to make the most of a “crucial opportunity” before the election.
It recommends licensees write to local candidates, local newspapers and organise an election hustings in their own pub.
Brigid Simmonds, BBPA chief executive, said: “The half a million of us working in the industry should use it as an opportunity to champion our cause, highlighting the contribution we make, and also to challenge misconceptions about the trade.
“It is an opportunity we must make the most of in run up to polling day.”
The BBPA also hopes to add to the 320 candidates who have already supported its I’m Backing the Pub campaign.

Pub Group Mitchells and Butler Reveal Business Reshape Plans
Midland pubs group Mitchells & Butlers has revealed new plans to reshape the company into a food-led business – months after a boardroom coup was completed.
In a strategic review statement the group said it would expand its food-led mid-market brands Harvester, Toby Carvery, Crown Carveries, Sizzling Pub Co, Premium Country Dining and Vintage Inns.
The moves come as a plan to refocus the firm around its food offer, which includes withdrawing from primarily drinks-led operations and converting into growth brands.
The plans, which follow a 55-day strategy review headed up by new M&B chairman John Lovering, also include developing smaller town centre variants of Harvester and Toby Carvery.

Carlsberg launches fruit spritzer Eve with Louise Redknapp
Carlsberg UK has launched Eve, a 100% natural fruit spritzer drink into the UK market, and has signed up Louise Redknapp as the brand ambassador.
Eve, which is 3.1% ABV and lightly sparkling, is being launched exclusively into the on-trade, following a three-month trial in Manchester last year, and success in other markets across Europe including Russia and Switzerland. The brewer adds that Eve, contains 135 calories per bottle, also satisfies female requirements for drinks that are “lighter, more natural” and lower in alcohol and calories”.
Paul Davies director of brands and insight at Carlsberg UK, said: "The drinks industry has largely ignored female consumers in the on-trade for a long time, which is criminal."
He said that women were visiting pubs and bars more frequently than ever, now accounting for over £10bn of on-trade revenue.

Pubco Tells Investors it is Disposing of Around 70 Bottom-End Pubs a Month
Punch Taverns said it is on track to sell around 1,800 non-core pubs as part of a disposal programme designed to slim down its leased operation from 6,800 sites to 5,000., reports the Publican
The UK’s largest pubco, which has been selling off around 70 bottom-end pubs a month as well as packages of high-end sites to regional brewers over the past year, told a City conference hosted by stockbroker Numis Securities that it was halfway through its planned disposal programme.
The group also confirmed that its new code of practice was currently being assessed by the BII and would be published on or around April 22, when it announces its interim results.
Details of new lease agreements, likely to come into effect in the next financial year, will also be revealed around the time of its interims.

Pub Landlords Welcome Government Support
Pub Landlords have welcomed news that the Government has set aside £4 million to help keep them running.
Pubs minister John Healey has announced a number of measures aimed at helping rural pubs including slashing “beer ties” which lock pubs into purchasing beer from the big pub companies. Other measures announced by the minister include business support to help communities buy into struggling pubs to keep them running.
Councils will also be given new powers through the planning system to intervene before a pub is demolished, giving a pause in the system for the residents to have their say.
Mr Healey said: “This package of tough, practical measures aims to put some real support behind our community pubs, giving publicans more support to diversify and punters more choice.
“Today’s measures are a much needed shot in the arm for publicans in these tough times. They will make it easier to diversify lower costs and cut red tape when it comes to branching out. It is also a boost for local communities, giving them a greater stake in the future of their local pubs often so important in bringing people together.”

Government Plans to Save the pub
The government unveiled its latest ideas to save Britain's rural pubs today, with promises of extra funding and an easing up of planning rules,reports Politics. Nearly 40 pubs are closing each week, resulting in job losses and millions of pounds lost to the economy, campaigners say. Many rural activists are also concerned the decline of the local pub will drive local communities further apart by taking away what is often the hub of local activity.
The government pledges include £3.3 million for business support to make pubs more successful and help communities buy into struggling pubs to keep them running today.
"Today's measures are a much needed shot in the arm for publicans in these tough times," said pubs minister John Healey.
"They will make it easier to diversify, lower costs and cut red tape when it comes to branching out. It is also a boost for local communities, giving them a greater stake in the future of their local pubs often so important in bringing people together."
A consultation is underway on proposals to cut the requirement for music licences in certain venues.
Councils will also be given new powers through the planning system to intervene before a pub is demolished, giving a pause in the system for the local community to have their say, government sources said.
Restrictions on sales which prevent premises continuing as pubs will be banned and planning laws reformed so pubs can branch out their business without planning permission into new commercial ventures, like restaurants or gift shops.

Record profits for JD Wetherspoons
JD Wetherspoon has reported record first half profits of £36.2m, a 41.4 per cent rise on last year, reports The Big Hospitality.
Profit was up 17.5 per cent on a pre-exceptional basis at the 746-strong managed pub chain which also successfully carried out a refinancing deal and reintroduced a dividend.
Turnover for the 26 weeks to 24 January was up 4.1 per cent to £488.1m including sales from 17 new pubs. Like-for-like sales increased marginally by 0.1 per cent with total sales.
Wetherspoon plans to open 50 pubs this year. It will issue a dividend of 12p a share for the financial year ending 25 July.
“Sales and profits in the six months under review were at record levels, notwithstanding the immense pressure on the pub business from government legislation, thanks, above all, to the great efforts of all of our staff,” said chairman Tim Martin.
“Trading in the six weeks to 7 March 2010 continues on a similar trend to last year, with like-for-like sales down 0.4 per cent and total sales increasing by 3.9 per cent.
"As a result of our sales, profits and free cash flow, together with our continued efforts to improve every area of the business, I remain confident of our future prospects.”

Pub Development Plan Halted After BBC Investigation
Plans by the UK's biggest pub company to convert a community pub into a housing development have been halted following a BBC investigation.
Programme makers uncovered a series of inaccuracies and misleading claims in Punch Taverns' planning application for the Cross Guns pub in Birmingham.
The application, which has attracted hundreds of objections, had been due to go before the local housing committee.
Punch said its application had been made in "good faith".
But once details of the investigation by BBC Inside Out West Midlands emerged, Birmingham City Council immediately halted the application whilst the claims could be investigated.
