Mix with Carlsberg Britvic helps The Manor Pub celebrate the end of summer in style
From providing insights into consumer needs and behaviours, to educating bar staff with the skills to enhance mixed drinks and helping venues to provide over 10,000 serves year-round, the Mix with Carlsberg Britvic platform has been on a mission to help outlets elevate their offerings.
More recently, following a successful festive giveaway last December, Mix with Carlsberg Britvic returned in May with a summer-inspired incentive. As the hotter season brings its own surge in social occasions and outdoor gatherings, Mix with Carlsberg Britvic wanted to continue spotlighting the hard work of hospitality teams.
This once again saw £2,000 towards a team party up for grabs, complete with a Mix with Carlsberg Britvic pop-up bar serving cocktails, mocktails and more. The result? A well-earned celebration, designed to help one lucky team soak up the last of the sunshine and enjoy a night off during a busy season for the industry.
The winners were Donna Cowie and Richard Metcalfe from The Manor Pub, Henknowle. Not only did Donna and Richard set out to give their team the ultimate night off, they took this one step further and opened the party up to give back to a selection of their regular customers. This included hiring a hog roast van and hosting a saxophone player to keep everyone entertained throughout the evening. The night also saw attendees enjoy a selection of drinks prepared by the expert team of mixologists at Hedonist, giving The Manor Pub's staff and customers an evening to remember.
Richard Metcalfe, owner of The Manor Pub, Henknowle, comments:"We were genuinely thrilled to have won Mix with Carlsberg Britvic's summer hospitality competition. Hospitality can be full-on during the warmer months, so having the chance to throw a proper celebration for the team felt like a real treat. The £2,000 gave us the freedom to plan something special, and the Mix with Carlsberg Britvic pop-up bar was the cherry on top. A big highlight for us was being able to open the evening up to some of our regular customers. It wasn't just a party, it was a reminder of how important it is to celebrate our staff and give back to those customers who support our business year-round."
