AbstractThe high street pubs and bars market is worth almost £3 billion, a modest increase of 1.7% since Mintel last reported in May 2006.
The market leader, JD Wetherspoon, with around 40% of the trade, has enjoyed 10% growth in sales, mainly from its dining. However, these are challenging times, with the credit crunch, demographics, cheap supermarket beer and the smoking ban creating unfavourable pressure on the trade now and into the future.
Mintel last examined the UK market for high street pubs and bars in the UK in May 2006.
Key report themes:
- The importance of food in driving footfall and sales.
- Pressure on discretionary income is proving to be a significant challenge for the future.
- The impact of the smoking ban in public places, introduced in England in 2007.
- The influence of a highly competitive off-trade to on-trade growth.
