Pubs are having a tough time lately and the thing they learned to do during Covid was to pivot so they had more than strings to their bow.

This continues to be the case and whether it’s introducing a food offer or looking into an experiential idea, pubs have always been in the vanguard when it comes to pioneering.

Here, The MA looks at some case studies when it comes to what certain pubs and bars have done to change their fortunes positively and the plans they have for the future.

There is plenty a site can do to improve and it may be as simple as changing their suppliers to as complex as some films and bringing their expert kitchen team together to match meals while viewers enjoy what’s on the screen.

As the low & no sector continues to garner massive sales growth, The MA looks at the top beers in the category.

We seek out data that shows the brands that are faring best within the category in pubs and bars and give you a rubdown of the advantages any pub could be enjoying if selling these tipples.

We also look at a pub that is going great guns via its use of low & no drinks and it’s not just beer in this case. It fares well across the board and tells The MA its secrets to success.
