'Picky Bits'

GLORIOUS GRAZING

With the summer season fast approaching, you might find that dayparts are blurring and there’s a steady stream of customers coming through the doors. We think ‘picky bits’ should be included in the dictionary as it’s a classic British term of not quite knowing what you want and having a few different things to pick at. Enter our third and final menu focus for the summer – all day grazing. Essentially a range of small plates and sides that allow your customers the freedom to pick and choose what they fancy.

The key is to include a range of hot and cold options and utilising seasonal fruit and vegetables to accompany.

Premium Beverages

Key trends such as health and tropical flavours are really coming into their own in this category. With the continued consumer interest in healthier lifestyles & benefits of physical and mental health which support the growth of mindful drink choices. Low-to-no-sugar alternatives are growing at pace, with many using the fruit content to sweeten the drinks.
