DAD Cheers

Given the continued cost of living crisis, there will be customers looking for value alternatives and they’ll take dad out for a drink and snack, rather than a full meal. Try these ideas...

Bar snacks

A small specials menu of dishes such as nachos, loaded flatbreads and interesting dips and tortilla chips is a great way to increase customer spend at the bar. Create a special deal for the day – get a percentage off a bar snack when ordering two drinks. Ensure you’re also well stocked with nuts and classic crisps such as Walkers Cheese & Onion.

Recommend Brixton Brewery Reliance Pale Ale to go with Salted Nobby’s Nuts. This fresh-tasting, easydrinking ale goes down well with a side of salty nuts.
