Why Your Pub Needs a BBQ This Summer

The weather is finally starting to look more like summer, and you’re probably already experiencing the effects of the sun drawing in the public to your beer gardens.

The summer months become a pub owners dream; not only do the punters arrive in their droves to sup on your fantastic range of beers, the environment around the place becomes a lot more lively-yet-laid back, too!

As the warm weather is also associated with BBQ’s, the natural thing to do is host a BBQ event at your pub! What’s better than a pint of cold beer and a freshly barbecued burger?

It Will Drive Custom

You’re probably not going to be short of custom if the weather is glorious, but putting on some food that your customers have access to will surely make even more people want to visit your pub.

Not only will they appreciate having delicious food to hand while they relax, you’ll also be inadvertently reducing the risk of people getting too drunk. The food will soak up the alcohol in their stomachs and will keep the chances of them becoming ill from drinking too much to a minimum.

Keep the prices low and you’ll get even more people visiting your pub, drawing in new customers and old!

It Creates an Easy to Manage Event

Pubs up and down the country will be filling up their summer calendars with festivals, bands and other events to get people visiting their establishments.

While this is a great idea to drive people to come to your pub, it can often become exhausting if you are putting on a large event every single night. Instead, why not swap the labour intensive mini beer festival for a low key BBQ instead?

It’ll still draw in a crowd, and you won’t have more work to pile on your bar staff!

Builds a Friendly Reputation

The overall feel of a pub should be friendly and approachable – at least that’s what we think makes a good pub, and there’s no better event to hold to encapsulate this friendly atmosphere than a BBQ?

If you’re feeling especially generous, you could also organise a charity event where some (or all) proceeds raised from your BBQ will go towards helping a local charity. Everyone loves a good beer and burger, so you’re more likely to raise some money for your cause than simply having a change bucket on the bar!
