For World Gin Day, we're spotlighting one of our favourite brands behind the bar: Whitley Neill.

Whitley Neill has built a reputation for bold, characterful spirits. From the clean, juniper-forward Original to full-flavoured gins like Blood Orange, there's a bottle for every taste.

We know it works beautifully in a classic G&T, over ice with a wedge of citrus, or as the base of a simple cocktail menu. It's always a gin worth talking about.

Football season is officially here! โšฝ

That means two things: higher footfall and increased profits.

To set your venue up for success, it's important to create an atmosphere that people want to be a part of, not just stop for one.

Make it happen:

1. Deck out your venue with football-themed props
2. Host screening parties for key matches
3. Run food & drink specials built for groups and quick service
4. Offer family-friendly screenings
5. Encourage returning customers with competitions & prediction contests

The venues that make healthy profits during a World Cup aren't just showing football. They're creating a place people want to come back to. ๐Ÿบ

A day we won't forget in a hurry. ๐Ÿบ

Some of our team were lucky enough to get a private tour of T&R Theakston Brewery, led by Simon Theakston himself. As the great-grandson of the founder, Simon's knowledge of the site runs deep, and his passion for the craft came through in every corner of one of the UK's last remaining tower breweries.

Before the tour, we watched the UK's last full-time in-house cooper, Euan Findlay (), at work. Some of our team even had a go themselves. The afternoon finished with a well-earned taste of the ales in the White Bear.

A huge thank you to Simon, Richard, Bobby, and Euan for making it such a special visit ๐Ÿ™

The no and low category isn't a trend anymore. It's a menu essential.

While some customers are choosing to moderate, they still want quality from brands they recognise. A considered no and low cider range keeps everyone at the table happy, drives additional revenue, and can be a genuine margin opportunity this summer.

We stock a growing range of no and low-alcohol products to suit all styles of venue. Head to our website to explore what's available.

The FIFA World Cup is less than a month away. Is your venue ready?

Billions of viewers. Packed outlets. Late-night kick-offs. This is one of the biggest trading opportunities your venue will see in 2026, but it takes planning to make the most of it.

Licensing is the first thing to get right. The government has confirmed extended licensing hours for Home Nation matches (England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland), so for fixtures kicking off at 9pm or earlier, your venue can stay open until 1am without needing a Temporary Event Notice (TEN).

For matches starting at 10pm or later, a TEN is still required. England have at least one group stage game in that window, and the same could apply to knockout fixtures if they progress. You only get 15 TENs per year, so use them wisely.

Here's a quick checklist to get ahead ๐Ÿ“‹

1๏ธโƒฃ Make sure your TV Licence covers public performance
2๏ธโƒฃ Check your premises licence includes outdoor garden areas
3๏ธโƒฃ Apply for TENs now for any 10pm+ kick-offs that need them
4๏ธโƒฃ Notify neighbours if you're planning extended hours
5๏ธโƒฃ Review whether polycarbonate glassware is needed

Stock is the other piece of the puzzle. We're here to make sure your bar is ready for every minute of every match.

Plan your World Cup order now.
