Following on from the #shoplocal trend, we now have a surge in local pub events and our stretch tents are in demand both in the winter and summer. The local pub is often the epicentre of the community, whether for a commiserations or celebrations. It’s the place that most of us in the UK seem to gravitate towards.
Pubs are so much a part of our culture it’s almost in our DNA: consider EastEnders without The Queen Vic or Only Fools and Horse with no Nags Head, they just wouldn’t feel right! Over the last ten years the pub trade has seen a real face lift and now more than ever your local pub needs to be competitive when it comes to quality produce, craft beer and spirits, and now pub events too are a soaring trade.
Supporting The Local Economy
The benefit of this, as with shopping local, is that sipping local can be a great way to boost your neighbourhoods economy, not to mention being environmentally friendly. As we collectively look to lower our carbon footprints, we are seeing a popular movement for parties and smaller weddings closer to home. If home isn’t a possibility, a pub garden can feel like the next best thing, with the bonus of no clearing up afterwards and no need to worry about hiring in external food and drink suppliers. Sit back, relax and keep it local.
