The British pub has always been more than just a place to grab a pint it's a cultural cornerstone. But the pub industry is rapidly evolving. From shifting customer expectations to the pressures of rising costs and sustainability demands, today’s publicans must adapt to stay competitive. At CaterCombi, we understand these challenges and we're here to help you meet them head on.
The Changing Face of the Modern Pub
Gone are the days when a lukewarm lager and a packet of crisps would cut it. Customers now want craft, quality, and consistency, whether that’s in a pulled pint, a vegan burger, or a Sunday roast.
Trends we're seeing:
-
Premiumisation: Customers are drinking less but drinking better.
-
Food-forward pubs: Kitchens are now profit drivers, not just afterthoughts.
-
All-day trade: Coffee mornings, working lunches, evening crowds, pubs are now multi-use spaces.
-
Sustainability: Consumers care how food is sourced and prepared.
Challenges Behind the Bar and in the Kitchen
Running a successful pub isn’t getting easier.
-
Staffing shortages are real and ongoing.
-
Energy costs are eating into already tight margins.
-
Consistency is key, and hard to achieve during busy service.
That's where CaterCombi comes in.
