Decline of UK licensed premises attributed to challenge of take-home beer, in-home entertainment, health-conscious eating and drinking, and crackdown on drink-driving.
(PRWEB) April 22, 2004
Research and Markets announces the addition of the 2004 Public House Market Report to its offerings.
In the UK, public houses continue to play a central role in the social and economic life of the country although, since 2000, there has been a gradual decline in the number of licensed premises as unprofitable venues closed or were converted to other uses.
In order to overcome the challenges presented by take-home beer, in-home entertainment, health-conscious eating and drinking, and the crackdown on drink-driving, pubs were forced to reinvent themselves either by offering formal dining or live entertainment, or by targeting specific types of consumer. Between 1999 and 2003, food sales rose steadily as a proportion of the average pub's sales and reached 21% in 2003, although alcoholic drinks, particularly beer, continue to provide the major income.
