Sweet pub snacks are way forward

Jammie Dodgers, Wagon Wheels and Maryland Cookies could soon be as much a part of a pub’s snack offer as cheese & onion crisps.

Wagon Wheels: could be part of a pub's snack range

That is following a move by Burton Foods to launch an out-of-home snacking division.

The company, which owns and bakes the above brands as well as Cadbury’s chocolate biscuits under licence, has developed new pack formats especially for pubs, restaurants and hotels as part of the move.

“We’ve tailored our products specifically for the foodservice sector to capitalise on the growing out-of-home snacking market,” said Chris Bampton, business account manager.

Products include 40g munch bags of Maryland Cookies and Cadbury Mini Fingers and two-pack formats of Maryland Cookies, Cadbury Chocolate Digestives and Shortcakes containing just two biscuits.

The company estimates that 54% of snacks are eaten out of the home.
