We’ve already offered up some tips on preparing a Christmas menu, but don’t forget how important it is to make your pub feel truly festive in every way this Christmas.
Where possible, use new Christmas decorations - if you have any tatty or worn decorations, bin them, as they’ll look dowdy rather than cheerful. If you have fairy lights, make sure they work properly and safely and, if you are having a Christmas tree, ensure it is erected properly without being a hazard to your customers.
Christmas can bring in lots of extra custom, too, so ensure that the pub is up to scratch in general – keep your toilets clean, think about adjusting your table layout to ensure customers can get to the bar easily, and keep the bar well stocked.
