Chris Moore, Star Pubs & Bars trading director, said: “The Nescafe partnership is an example of Star Pubs & Bars’ strategy to work with leading specialists to provide lessees with the very best consumer insight, practical support and quality product. We’ve used Heineken’s purchasing expertise to partner with Nescafe, a market leader in coffee, to launch a coffee support programme tailored to our lessees’ pubs.

“It is imperative with pubs and coffee bars competing for the consumers’ hard earnt pounds that our licensees and their staff are confident in their knowledge of coffee, of consumer behaviour, of the equipment they use and of how to promote coffee to customers. They now have access to fantastic coffee and excellent specialist support.

“The quality of the coffee is outstanding even with the most basic equipment and is attracting new customers and upselling coffee to regulars in all the pubs that have chosen the new equipment and specialist support.”
