Al fresco advice from Calor

Pubs can see the latest al fresco products and get exclusive discounts on a range of appliances at Calor's one-day al fresco event on June 7.

The LPG supplier also offers a range of al fresco appliances which can help pubs turn the threat of losing customers to the smoking ban into an opportunity to increase trade.

The event will be held at The Robin Hood pub in Chatham, Kent. Calor representatives will be on hand to demonstrate how to maximise profit potential from the smoking ban, while leading barbecue chef Colin Capon will prepare lunch for guests whilst explaining how to make the most from alfresco menus and barbecuing at events.

Calor's marketing executive Kate Biggs says: "This is an excellent opportunity to find out why different appliances are suitable for different uses and benefit from expert advice on your outdoor area and special discounted prices."

After lunch, guests will be invited to take part in an afternoon of activity including clay pigeon shooting in the pub grounds. Places at the event are limited - to ensure you secure your place at this exclusive event, contact Kate Biggs at Calor on 01926 458229 or email kbiggs@calor.co.uk.

Calor is also offering Publican readers a free, no obligation site survey looking at the space available at their outlet, current heating provision, food currently on offer and plans for development.

Following the survey, Calor will suggest ways the outdoor area could be improved and make recommendations on appliances such as free-standing patio heaters, fixed radiant heaters and all-in-one terrace solutions as well as BBQs.

To be in with a chance of winning Calor's site survey, email kbiggs@calor.co.uk with Alfresco Site Survey in the subject of the email.
