"Pubs offering recession tipples and tax credits"

 

To offer our customers some cheaper options during the recession we introduced a range of 'Recession Busting' measures. The first was reducing our prices across the board, and the second was to DRASTICALLY reduce the price on a few select pumps, and introduce a Recession Menu, and call this our Recession Range. This made the local press, The Cambridge News. Click here to see the HTML/web version of the article. - The Cambridge News, May 2009

"Recession Busters" - first article by The Publican Magazine to spearhead their 'Local Hero' series.

In May 09, as part of our recession busting measures we introduced our 'Recession Range' at The Kingston Arms . The Recession Range, included our own ale 'Recession be Damned'. WaverlyTBS, together with The Publican magazine, were running a scheme ('Local Hero') which offered landlords/licensees their own bespoke, locally brewed ale. We thought this was too good an opportunity to miss, so we took them up on their offer, but rather than nominate a 'Local Hero' to name the beer after, we decided to name the beer to reflect our feelings about the recession. Hence our ale 'Recession be Damned' was born! We used this ale as part of our recession busting drive at The Kingston.

WaverlyTBS and The Publican Magazine liked this so much they used it as the first article in their 'Local Hero' series (Dec/09). Click here to see article.
