- APPENDIX: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
AbstractPubs and bars in the UK’s town and city centres - the ‘high street’ sector of the licensed trade - have suffered their fair share of bad publicity in the two years since Mintel last examined this topic. Even in 2004, it was remarked that growth was disappearing from the high street under the weight of intense competition, price-cutting and the adverse publicity surrounding binge drinking. This conclusion had been in contrast to the report in 2002, when conditions had been booming.
While the growth of the late 1990s and early 2000s did cause a damaging ‘ghettoisation’ effect, it is far from the case that all high street pubs are YPV (Young People’s Venues) of the type so often castigated in the media. The report will, therefore, take a broader view of the town centre pub and its unique role in satisfying a kaleidoscope of different customers - workers, students, tourists, families and just ‘regulars’ - as well as the groups of young ‘circuit drinkers’.
While attempting to improve their CRM, pubs are also in the position in 2006 of having to cope with several other major external changes: new licensing legislation, bans on smoking in public places and a general revolt against drink-related anti-social behaviour. While this report covers the whole of the UK, attention is drawn where necessary to variations under ‘devolved powers’. For example, a complete ban on smoking was introduced in Scottish pubs in March 2006, but this legislation is awaited for the rest of the UK.
