Admiral Taverns landlords have been learning about the benefits of offering food to increase their sales and footfall at special events held in partnership with Booker wholesale, the UK’s leading food wholesaler.

The events, held at Booker branches in the South West, gave landlords the chance to meet with the expert Admiral Food Team who provided useful help and advice about how to start food from simple bar snacks through to five course menus.

Due to the success of the events, Admiral will be holding 14 more events across the rest of the UK in the New Year.  Any landlord who would like to attend one of the events or find out more information, can contact the Admiral Taverns food team on 0844 800 6671.

Staff at the Admiral Taverns head office have raised over £1,000 in the last 12 months for the animal charity the RSPCA.

On the last Friday of every month staff hold a dress down day and pay one pound each for the privilege of not wearing business attire. It has proved a popular day with staff and is a great way of raising money for worthy causes.

In addition to the dress down days Stephanie Adams from the Admiral licensing team bakes a fantastic array of cakes which are sold to support of Marie Curie Cancer and McMillan Nurses. She has raised over £400 so far! A case of spending £1 and putting a pound on in weight?

As many eateries feel the effects of the credit crunch, recent research has shown that pub food is actually performing extremely well.

British pubs’ share of the eating-out market has risen by 82% in the last decade, and pub-restaurants now account for 35% of the entire market - that amounts to £13bn a year.

Admiral Taverns landlords have been doing their bit to raise much-needed funds for local charities. 

Wendy Sowerby, of the Angel Inn in Coleorton, completed a grueling half marathon and raised over £1,600 for the cancer ward at Burton Hospital (pictured with barman Joe Peace below). 

Meanwhile, Alex Fallon, who runs Admiral Tavern’s The Fox pub in Stanton Harcourt cycled from London to Paris – a distance of around 312 miles - in aid of Lupus UK.

Wendy and Alex’s fantastic fundraising efforts typify the kind of people who we look for to run our pubs; people who are committed to their community.

We're pleased to announce the successful completion of a financial restructuring which provides a stable foundation for the future. 

This move marks an end to recent speculation about Admiral Taverns' future and places us on a firm footing. There will be no impact on the day-to-day operations of the Group; business will continue as usual and the current management team will remain in position.

Our main concern throughout these negotiations has been to minimise disruption to our staff, partners and suppliers and we are happy to say that we have achieved this.

Landlords, tenants, suppliers and contractors should also be unaffected, and will continue to do business with is as they have previously.

Many landlords are finding new and creative ways to boost income during the current recession.

A prime example are Barry and Roberta Smith at The Boot in Kimpton, Hertfordshire.  With Admiral's support they've created five bed and breakfast rooms by converting a disused barn at the back of their pub. 

Business has boomed since the completion of the development, helping The Boot increase its turnover and appeal to new customers. The pub now has a thriving breakfast trade and is packed out at least three nights a week.
