Cup of gold
If you had asked for a coffee in a bar twenty years ago, you would have walked away with your tail between your legs. However, nowadays it’s perfectly acceptable to consume hot beverages on a licenced premises and it has transformed the fortunes of bars that would have had a very slow day time trade. Barista style coffee and herbal teas are now an important element of every on-trade business. According to Amárach research, “The popularity of coffee among Irish adults is clear with three quarters saying they drink coffee – perhaps more surprisingly is that nearly one in 10 of these tell us they drink five or more cups a day”. This should prove a wakeup call for those pubs and restaurants not already broadening their hot beverage offering in the mornings and afternoons. Our pubs are morphing into coffee shops by day and this is too lucrative a market to ignore. We look at the best brands on the market for the on-trade.
