Pub Crawls: Ale Trails through UK and Ireland - TNT Magazine

Pub Crawls: Ale Trails through UK and Ireland

28th Nov 2011 11:25am | By Editor

---

The pub is one of Britain’s finest innovations, so it would be rude not to check more of them out ... Words by SOPHIE ELLIS.

There’s something about a pub crawl that makes you feel almost virtuous. After all, you’re really working for your ale. In fact, with all that exercise and orienteering, you could almost be running a marathon. Here are our favourite pub crawls in the UK and Ireland: they’re not for the fainted-hearted – or weak-of-stomach – and if you end up crawling home, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

The Seven-Legged, Nottingham

This annual Nottingham-based extravaganza has a dedicated following, and a large one at that. Made up of seven bars – and purported to be the largest student bar crawl in the world, as more than 6000 students took part last year – the aim is to remain standing. Teams of six, all in matching fancy dress, are tied together, while a seventh member is charged with dashing to the bar. Venues include Oceana and Gatecrasher, with the route changing each year.

Newquay Mile, Newquay

A surfer favourite that’s best undertaken in summer, booze-swillers stumble between 12 Cornwall pubs and bars, starting at The Fort Inn in Fore Street and finishing at Berties Bar in East Street. Fun facts along the way: the Towan Blystra takes its name from Newquay’s first written reference in the 14th century, and Skinner’s has a great selection of ales from its own brewery.
See: barcrawl.co.uk/pubcrawl

The Mumbles Mile, Wales

This nine pit-stop pub crawl in Mumbles near Swansea is a Welsh institution. Once a haunt of poet Dylan Thomas, the seaside stretch of road is perfect for lazy weekend crawlers. Start at The White Rose in Newton Road, and end in The Pilot in Mumbles Road. Must be enjoyed with a plate of Welsh Rarebit.

Temple Bar, Dublin

There’s no shortage of good ‘craic’ in Dublin, or ‘Publin’ as it’s often termed. For a boozy bonanza of epic proportions, just follow the locals as they sway in and out of pubs around the Temple Bar area of the city. Notable spots are the Palace Bar – unspoilt by the passage of time – and The Foggy Dew for the live music, but make sure you end up in Dublin’s oldest pub, The Brazen Head. The coach house was first made a public boozing spot in 1198.
See: dublinweekendbreak.net/pubs

Rose Street Challenge, Edinburgh

If you like a little history with your beer, Edinburgh is your perfect destination. Tucked behind the famous Princes Street, Rose Street’s 20 or so pubs are conveniently within staggering distance of one another. The Abbotsford boasts beautiful Edwardian décor, and the Auld Hundred is one of the oldest bars in the city, dating back to 1800. This year-round challenge is a favourite with sports fans, who endeavour to have a drink in every pub on the street.
See: 101edinburgh.com

TransPennine Pub Crawl, Yorkshire and Lancashire

Making good use of Britain’s railways, this pub crawl demands you hop off the train at each of the eight stops along the route from Manchester Victoria to Batley (with a change in Huddersfield mid-way), and enjoy a different pint in the pubs and small breweries near – or in – the stations. Crawlers start in Stalybridge’s Buffet Bar and end in Batley’s Cellar Bar. Try it on a Saturday if you’re looking for some companionship!
See: realaletrail.net

Oban Pub Crawl, Scotland

Although it’s dubbed the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’, the locals know it’s Oban’s distilled whisky that sets them apart. But even if a wee dram isn’t your tipple, this crawl can’t fail to impress. Overlooked by the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour, drinkers attempt to fit in as many pubs as possible. There’s no set route, but seven is the minimum for free swag – if you collect a ‘passport’ in the first bar that you visit and get it stamped in every pub, you get a free T-shirt at your last stop. 
See: obanpubcrawl.com

UK'S QUIRKIEST PUBS

With a bar that measures just 15ft by 7ft, The Nutshell in Bury St Edmunds holds the Guinness World Record title for the smallest pub in Britain. Squeeze in and check out the eccentric décor, which includes a mummified cat and an aeroplane propeller. (thenutshellpub.co.uk)

The Mermaid Inn in Rye, East Sussex, serves up spirits in more ways than one. Claiming to be ‘Britain’s Most Haunted Pub’, it’s allegedly home to two separate pairs of duelists, a couple who sit on the end of guests’ beds, countless spirit smugglers and a dead servant girl or two. (mermaidinn.com)

Although it dates back to 1242, in the Fifties The Bear in Oxford introduced a tradition of cutting off gentlemen’s ties as they walked through the door. The walls display more than 4500 snippets – in return, the owners of the ties were given half a pint. (6 Alfred Street, Oxford, OX1 4EH)

No need to barge to the bar: unless you’re in one that is. Canal House Bar in Nottingham  is built over the canal itself – you have to walk via a footbridge over the water to get to the bar. Great for summer drinking and watching the boats go by; it’s common to see canal-boat owners pull up inside for a pint. (canalhousebar.co.uk)

UK Pubs For Sale - Freehold Pubs For Sale: Punch Taverns Rent Hike Forces Pub Closure

Punch Taverns Rent Hike Forces Pub Closure

A pub landlord says he may be forced to leave his business because the pub owners have hiked his rent up by 60 per cent, according to Bakewell Today.

Dave Mountford, who has run the Rising Sun in Middleton-by-Wirksworth for four years, said the increase by Punch Taverns, the biggest pub company in the UK, would leave him with less than £10,000 per year to look after his family.

Punch has asked for a rent increase from £15,000 to £25,000 in June next year.

Over the past three years, Mr Mountford said he had tripled drinks sales at the pub.

He added: “They now make £85,000 per annum from the pub while we make £20,000.“I was stunned when Punch announced an increase of 60 per cent.

“If the rent increases we will be left with around £10,000 a year to live on.

“I sat down and looked carefully at the figures they have provided and came to the conclusion they are inaccurate.

“We would not be able to stay if the rent went up. It would not be viable.”

Mr Mountford believes Punch has over-valued what he earns and had not included waste costs.

He contacted a list of 18 comparable pubs in the area provided by Punch.

“I phoned up these pubs and they nearly all said they are going out of business. A couple had just received eviction notices. The data showed they are paying much too much rent.”

Trade union GMB now plan to undertake a major survey of pub rents, incomes and costs.

A spokesperson from Punch Taverns said: “We have a Code of Practice that clearly outlines our ways of working and commitments to our licensees and explains what to expect when leasing a pub with Punch.

“The terms we have presented to Mr Mountford are in accordance with our Code of Practice and follow the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’ guidelines. If we are unable to reach agreement with Mr Mountford, we will follow the provisions set out in our Code of Practice for dispute resolution.”

The Gun owners target further expansion - Wharf

Gastro pub gurus Ed and Tom Martin have spent more than a decade building a formidable dining portfolio.

They recently picked up The Good Pub Guide's County Dining Pub Of The Year for The Gun and revealed what made the Coldharbour establishment so special.

Tom said: "The Gun has such a significant history - Nelson used to come here and there were secret tunnels where the contraband used to be brought in.

"It is Grade II listed and many original features remain. The bar is largely intact and the wooden panelling is original. It's a great location on the river and such a lovely environment. It's a haven from Canary Wharf.

"However before we bought it, it had a stage and used to have strippers on Sundays."

The brothers teamed up in 2000 wanting to be part of a changing pub scene. With a shared love of traditional British pubs and a passion for food, they set out to create somewhere they would want to visit.

Tom said: "We used to go to country pubs at the weekend and loved the whole British pub thing. You don't see it anywhere else in the world.

"Our business boomed from the first day because we got the concept absolutely right - things like not having to book or dress up make a difference.

"We have always had consistently good food and have had the same chef at The Gun for three years which has held the team together."

They expanded rapidly and now have eight pubs in London, each with its own character.

UK Pubs For Sale - Freehold Pubs For Sale: North London Pub Bars Travellers

North London Pub Bars Travellers

The Irish Times is reporting that one of Britain’s largest pub chains is to face investigation for racial discrimination after a group, including a police officer and a priest who had attended an Irish Travellers’ meeting, were refused entry to a north London pub.

The incident occurred last Thursday shortly before 5pm when some of those who had attended an Irish Travellers’ Movement in Britain meeting at offices on Holloway Road went to the JD Wetherspoons-owned Coronet pub a few doors away.

The group, including Cheshire Constabulary’s head of diversity Insp Mark Watson, solicitor Martin Howe and the group’s chairman, Fr Joe Brown, along with a number of Travellers, were blocked by doormen.

Mr Howe, who is to issue legal proceedings against JD Wetherspoons today, said the doormen had told him they had been instructed not to allow in anyone who had been at the Travellers’ conference because of “problems last year, except that there weren’t any”.

UK Pubs For Sale - Freehold Pubs For Sale: Ipswich Brewery Tap pub issues own bonds to raise money

Ipswich Brewery Tap pub issues own bonds to raise money

A pub in Ipswich is to issue its own bonds after failing to get bank loans, reports BBC Suffolk.

The Brewery Tap, on the waterfront, will sell the £500 bonds to customers, who will get a 10% discount on food and drink in return.

Mike Keen, landlord, said: "We would consider putting the pub on the market if we can't raise this money."

Peter Herd, an independent financial adviser, said any investors would have to consider the possibility they could lose their money.

Cable thieves
The landlord said he hoped to raise £20,000 and claimed he would start repaying bond holders their £500 from June 2012.

The pub said the bonds were effectively loans made to them by customers, who would get a financial return in the form of the 10% discount rather than as interest.

Mr Keen said the pub had broken even in October, but they had to improve cash flow.

He said they had lost money last year when thieves stole cabling from the derelict former Tolly Cobbold Brewery nextdoor, which meant the pub had to use an electricity generator for two months.

The landlord who took over the pub two years ago, said: "You hear the government banging on about how they're pressurising the banks to loan to small businesses to kick-start the economy, and it's just not working.

"Customers have said 'if you want a loan or anything let's do it', so now we've structured it into a proper deal.

UK Pubs For Sale - Freehold Pubs For Sale: Birth of the Beer Sommelier

Birth of the Beer Sommelier

It’s a dispiriting experience familiar to anyone who has ever asked for beer in one of London’s many high-end restaurants. The wine list requires its own trolley and a pair of wheezing waiters to heave it around, but the beers available can be reeled off in two seconds by a curled-lipped sommelier. On offer are a couple of multinational brews and, if you’re lucky, a nod towards Britain’s burgeoning brewing sector in the shape of a fairly safe offering from the world of ale.

There are notable exceptions – some of them with Michelin stars – but they’re few and far between. The situation, however, appears to be improving if three dinners that took place in the capital this week are any guide. Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster at the Brooklyn Brewery and author of the recently-released Oxford Companion to Beer, held court at the Draft House on Tower Bridge Road on Monday and James Martin (above left), chef and television presenter, produced a beer and food matching dinner at the University of West London on Tuesday. Perhaps most interestingly of all, though, was a dinner at Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair on Monday to launch a new beer sommelier scheme.

Four men became the first accredited beer sommeliers as part of a project that, according to the Beer Academy’s Rupert Ponsonby (above, second from left), is intended to get restaurants to start taking beer seriously. “The intention is that they will be a catalyst for bringing in more people from the on-trade,” he says. “Already, Brown’s Hotel say they want people to do the course and to become beer sommeliers – even at the University of West London, they’re saying they want to try it. I think it’s going to light the blue touch paper.”

The four pioneers – all of whom have a background in beer – will not actually work as sommeliers but they’re intended to act as figureheads for the scheme as it evolves, Ponsonby says. In this respect British restaurants will be following in the footsteps of their counterparts across the Atlantic. Food and beer matching is one of Oliver’s pet subjects – he even wrote a book about it, the Brewmaster’s Table – and he points out how learning to match beer and food can improve people’s lives in a very simple way.

“I think that when you turn people on to those things [like pairing food with beer], you run into them a few years later and they’re so happy about this thing that you pointed out,” Oliver (below) says. “I often think that those things happen in a very small moment – like being a jazz fan because someone played you a [John] Coltrane record. On the other side of that door is a slightly better life.”

Pubs and restaurants defy the gloom, says Peach Factory | 14 November 2011 | Stock Market Wire

Leading pub and restaurant groups saw collective like-for-like sales ahead 0.9% in October, according to latest Coffer Peach Business Tracker figures.

Total sales, which include the effect of new openings, were up 5.1%, In contrast, retail sales figures for the month were down.

The modest uplift comes despite bleaker news for the economy and consumer confidence.

However, the October figures also come on the back of a 2.8% like-for-like rise in September, a 0.6% increase in August and a 1.0% advance in July.

“People may be reluctant to go out and buy more ‘stuff’, but they are still willing to go out to eat and drink. It’s about the experience, especially if it’s good quality and great value,” commented Peter Martin of Peach Factory, which produces the sector Tracker, in partnership with KPMG, UBS and the Coffer Group. In all, 24 companies contribute data.

“Quality is still the main factor in choosing where to go out, but value is becoming increasingly important, and with the cost of eating-in and eating-out narrowing in many parts of the market, it remains an attractive proposition even for those with families,” Martin added.

UK Pub Sales News: Pubs remain a solid investment, figures show.

Pubs and restaurants continued to defy the gloom and remain a solid investment, figures from Coffer Peach's Business Tracker show.

Collectively, like-for-like sales between the two sectors rose by 0.9 per cent during October.

Peter Martin of Peach Factory, which investigated the sector in partnership with KPMG and UBS, said that figures in the hospitality trade continue to grow because the recession did not slow down people's desire to go out to eat and drink.

He added: “Quality is still the main factor in choosing where to go out, but value is becoming increasingly important, and with the cost of eating-in and eating-out narrowing in many parts of the market, it remains an attractive proposition even for those with families."

His comments follow on from advice given by All Party Parliamentary Beer Group, who said that the licensed trade is still very lucrative providing pub landlords are prepared to diversify their offerings, particularly for traditional pubs branching into serving food.

UK Pubs For Sale - Freehold Pubs For Sale: Punch Taverns Rent Hike Forces Pub Closure

Punch Taverns Rent Hike Forces Pub Closure

A pub landlord says he may be forced to leave his business because the pub owners have hiked his rent up by 60 per cent, according to Bakewell Today.

Dave Mountford, who has run the Rising Sun in Middleton-by-Wirksworth for four years, said the increase by Punch Taverns, the biggest pub company in the UK, would leave him with less than £10,000 per year to look after his family.

Punch has asked for a rent increase from £15,000 to £25,000 in June next year.

Over the past three years, Mr Mountford said he had tripled drinks sales at the pub.

He added: “They now make £85,000 per annum from the pub while we make £20,000.“I was stunned when Punch announced an increase of 60 per cent.

“If the rent increases we will be left with around £10,000 a year to live on.

UK Pub Sales News: Food sales could boost your pub's revenue

By: Paramount-Magazine  Published Date: 11 Nov 2011 12:15

People looking to buy a pub should consider the benefits of serving food, says the All Party Parliamentary Beer Group.

Robert Humphreys, secretary of the organisation, warned that times are still hard for many in the licensed trade but he said that it is still a very lucrative and rewarding industry for those prepared to research their market and try new things.

For many pub landlords that could be starting a food menu.

"Increasing the amount of food you sell if you have the market to justify it is a very sensible approach in times when alcohol consumption is slowly declining," he said.

"It can be a bit risky, you are sticking your neck out a bit further if you decide just to go into high quality preparation and service but the rewards are considerable if you get it right.

"If you are diversifying from a more traditional pub model which is beer-based into other business activity it is a very sensible way of spreading risk and expanding potential markets."

Mr Humphreys advised that anyone making the move into running a pub should firstly get to know the market and ideally have some kind of experience in the trade, whether that be as a member of bar staff or as a manager.

He added that, while serving food is undoubtedly a good idea for many, there is no set formula for a successful business. He said that it is important to weigh up the cost of supply and extra staffing, such as an on-site chef and waiters.

His comments come following claims made by Michelin Guide editor Rebecca Burr, who said that gastro pubs were far outperforming traditional ones during the recession.

Last month the Hand & Flowers public house in Marlow, Buckinghamshire became the first pub in the UK to be rewarded with two Michelin stars, the golden seal of approval for any eatery.

Great British pint keeps getting greener, says BBPA | 3 November 2011 | Stock Market Wire

The British Beer & Pub Association said the Great British pint keeps getting greener -– 25 per cent rise in energy efficiency adds to great record for UK brewers

• Energy efficiency up 25%, against a target of 20%

• £3m saving for UK brewers in Climate Change Levy payments

• Industry on target for a 67% reduction in carbon by 2020

• New CCA scheme must incentivise smaller brewers too, says BBPA’s Brigid Simmonds

The news that the UK brewing sector has exceeded its climate change targets in results published under the Government’s Climate Change Agreement (CCA). The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA), which coordinates the brewing industry’s action to reduce CO2 emissions, says the results show the extent of the industry’s commitment to greener brewing and reductions in energy use.

The strong performance means brewers will save £3 million per year due to reduced Climate Change Levy payments. The BBPA is calling for the Government to ensure the future CCA scheme is affordable for small- and medium-sized brewers to join. This will maximise future carbon savings across the whole UK brewing industry.

The new results show that energy efficiency, the amount of energy used per pint of beer produced, has improved by 25 per cent against the already challenging target of 20 per cent. To produce the same amount of beer, this means a saving of 138,000 tonnes of carbon per year. The industry is firmly on track to meet its own, highly ambitious, target of a 67 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2020, from 1990 levels. This target was set out in its Brewing Green environmental performance commitments launched in December 2010.

Brigid Simmonds, BBPA Chief Executive, comments.

“These latest figures add to a great record on carbon reduction by UK brewers – but we will not stop here, as we take our environmental commitments very seriously. On top of our record on reducing energy and water use, we have a range of targets under our ‘Brewing Green’ commitments, and we will continue to develop these.

“The Department of Energy & Climate Change is now considering how to shape the next CCA agreement. It is important that the new scheme should be affordable for small- and medium-sized brewers to join.

“Breweries interested in the joining the new phase of the scheme should contact us so we can help them to benefit from the big financial savings the current members of the BBPA scheme are already enjoying.”

BBC News - Ipswich Brewery Tap pub issues own bonds to raise money

A pub in Ipswich is to issue its own bonds after failing to get bank loans.

The Brewery Tap, on the waterfront, will sell the £500 bonds to customers, who will get a 10% discount on food and drink in return.

Mike Keen, landlord, said: "We would consider putting the pub on the market if we can't raise this money."

Peter Herd, an independent financial adviser, said any investors would have to consider the possibility they could lose their money.

Cable thieves

The landlord said he hoped to raise £20,000 and claimed he would start repaying bond holders their £500 from June 2012.

The pub said the bonds were effectively loans made to them by customers, who would get a financial return in the form of the 10% discount rather than as interest.

Mr Keen said the pub had broken even in October, but they had to improve cash flow.

He said they had lost money last year when thieves stole cabling from the derelict former Tolly Cobbold Brewery nextdoor, which meant the pub had to use an electricity generator for two months.

The landlord who took over the pub two years ago, said: "You hear the government banging on about how they're pressurising the banks to loan to small businesses to kick-start the economy, and it's just not working.

"Customers have said 'if you want a loan or anything let's do it', so now we've structured it into a proper deal.

Names from hat

"Bond holders would buy them in the knowledge they're helping their local at a time when about 27 pubs are going out of business each week."

Mr Keen said the repayments would be made, at the rate of one bond each month, by drawing names from a hat.

He added that the scheme would not begin until there were pledges to buy 20 bonds, although customers could buy more than one.

Peter Herd, independent financial adviser at Essential IFA in Ipswich, said: "It's a novel idea, but I think you would need to be a regular customer or friend of the pub and be prepared to lose the investment, as all investments are subject to potential loss.

"I would like to know how the bond is secured because this is not a regular corporate bond, so if the company went bust, what security has the client got?

"It sounds like something for supporters of the Brewery Tap, rather than an investment opportunity for the general public."

Pubs and clubs crackdown on fake ID

KIDDERMINSTER pubs and clubs are cracking down on under-age drinkers who try to purchase alcohol by borrowing other people's identification.

Staff are seizing any ID card which does not belong to the young person producing it.

Landlords have introduced a new policy of keeping the ID cards and making the owners come in to collect them - or in some cases, handing them over to the police.

Mark Carter, owner of Carters Bar in Vicar Street, and chairman of the Kidderminster Licensing Organisation (KLA), said: "While fake ID can easily be purchased off the internet, in Kidderminster we tend to have more of a problem with young people borrowing older brothers' or sisters ID, as siblings often look very similar.

"We now only accept passports or photo driving licences and they will be checked very carefully.

"Where young people have been found to be using someone else's ID we will ask the rightful owner to come in to collect it - and will only hand it over after we have pointed out to them the irresponsibility of their actions. However in certain circumstances we may hand over the ID straight to the police and let them deal with it."

In October last year, new mandatory licensing conditions were introduced regarding age verification to purchase alcohol. The only acceptable proof of identity is a hologram photograph, ideally a driving licence or passport.

Licensed premises are expected to ask for ID and to refuse sales where there is doubt over someone's age or ID is not produced.

Inspector Paul Crowley, district commander for Wyre Forest, said: "Using another person's ID with or without their knowledge is illegal, and both the owner and the person using the item are committing offences under the Identity Act of 2006.

"Passports are the property of the UK government and if a pub or club hands them in to the police, they may not be returned. If they are sent back to the Identity and Passport Service, the passport holder faces considerable cost and inconvenience in applying for a new one, not to mention possible disruption to travel plans.

He added the police would deal with people who misuse ID in a “robust manner”.

Stourbridge pubs' loos voted above bog-standard (From Stourbridge News)

A PAIR of pubs in Stourbridge are well above bog-standard after receiving five-star ratings for their toilets.

The Edward Rutland and The Chequers Inn, both in High Street, each scooped the top accolade in the British Toilet Association's Loo of the Year Awards 2011.

Judges have been scouring the country to locate the finest 'away from home' facilities at more than 1,500 locations.

The toilets are judged on criteria including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessible facilities, hygiene equipment and customer care.

Emma Harvey, manager at The Edward Rutland, said: “I am delighted with the award. Staff at the pub work hard to ensure that the toilets are in first-class condition at all times.”

Belhaven, which comprises 300 tenanted, leased and managed pubs in Scotland, said claims of an increase that could add 40p to the cost of a pint of Tennent’s Lager would be felt by customers and the licensed trade north of the Border.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK TO ENSURE THAT PLANNING PERMISSION IS NOT NEEDED FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

The Building Regulations, Change of Use & Planning Consents

THE BUILDING REGULATIONS set out the requirements necessary to ensure a consistent and appropriate standard of health, safety, energy conservation and accessibility is achieved in building work, for both domestic and commercial proposals. They are laid down by Parliament and are accompanied by a series of "Approved Documents" which relate to particular aspects of the Regulations.

The Building Regulations cover most building works including the erection of new buildings, conversion and extension of existing buildings, and the installation of heating, drainage or sanitary facilities.

The Building Regulations may also introduce the need for Building Regulation Approval in relation to a change of use of a building, even if building works are not intended. This is because the change of use may introduce the need for health and safety measures, disabled access facilities etc.

The Building Regulations may also come into play in circumstances where works that you are considering undertaking may have a structural or other building impact upon adjoining property; for example, by affecting support for party walls. This is a particular consideration for the removal of trees (especially in clay subsoil areas) where the foundations of property could be affected by their removal.
