A trend that has been on the rise recently is that of ‘sharing’.
Sharing platters or mixed plates offering the consumer a little bit of
everything has become the ‘to do’ thing because people like variety.
Top trends across the sector:
· Sharing Platters,
· Drink Flights,
· Artisanal Coffee,
· & Pudding Bars

We can also see this trend move into the drinks
segment with many outlets offering smaller taster
ale boards and martini selections commonly known
a drink ‘flight’. This trend shows no signs of
stopping or slowing down so why not get involved
and change it up a little by offering something less
traditional with exciting flavour profiles.
Another major area to be mindful of is the third wave
artisanal coffee shop trend sweeping
the nation. The quality of coffee is being scrutinised
as more and more people are after the best of the
best. Pubs have always been a great location for
groups of people to meet and greet so you should
be looking to take a share of this coffee wave and
even pair this with an exciting food offering
such as afternoon tea or lighter bites that are
great with coffees.
Also desserts are a big trend especially with
pudding only bars opening within London.
Mixing the pudding and sharing trends could make
for a good offering – especially with ‘good for you’
conscious people not wanting to over indulge. This
way, people can have a little taste to satisfy their
sweet craving whilst not over eating. Alternatively,
putting on a dessert night special with different
sweet treats could entice the pudding hungry
consumer and create a talking point.*
