Toby Case Study Case Study Toby Carvery, Braehead Client: Mitchell’s & Butlers Location: Braehead, Glasgow Value: £1,100,000 Timescale: 18 Weeks Challenge Pacific had to construct and fit out to an extremely tight deadline a brand new out-of-town restaurant for Mitchells Butlers plc, the UK’s leading operators of pubs and restaurants, whose extensive stable of brand names include All Bar One, O’Neill’s, Browns and Harvester, and whose annual turnover from 1600 outlets runs to nearly £2billion. Pacific are the only only Scottish contractors retained by the Birmingham-based plc, and this contract marked the start of what should be a fruitful relationship with M&B. Pacific had already proved their credentials to the client company through the completion of the upmarket Meadowpark bar and restaurant in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, which threw up a series of demanding requirements, both in terms of contract details and the actual delivery of a project which involved a historically sensitive and significant building. Approach Liaison with partner agencies was key as Pacific drew on their vast experience of delivering to deadline and to budget. The project was commenced towards the end of 2012 and was handed over to the clients in April, 2013 – just 18 weeks later. Tight management of the contract meant that the Toby – the “home of the roast” – was able to live up to its reputation of delivering a high quality, value-for-money dining experience to customers in a stylish and relaxing environment boasting high-quality fittings and other impressive features. Pacific were also conscious of the fact that for the Toby Carvery to hold its own on the fringes of the impressive Braehead Shopping Mall and Retail Park and to appeal to passing trade transiting one of Glasgow’s busiest roundabouts, the building had to strike the correct visual appeal. Results The Toby is now open, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to hundreds of customers every week, and it is a valuable, welcome and stylish addition to the overall Braehead experience. Pacific can also claim to be the only Scottish contractors serving not just Mitchells & Butlers but burger empire McDonald’s, pub chain JD Wetherspoon and bakery firm Greggs. ! ! www.pacificbuilding.co.uk.

  • Butt Foods Vegan Snapshot UPDATED 11 05 18
    SNAPSHOT OF THE GROWING VEGAN SCENE IN THE UK The rise of veganism in the UK and what it may mean for foodservice opportunities From being seen as niche and ‘quirky’ even just ten years ago, veganism is now more popular than ever across the UK. Driven primarily by younger people responding to growing fears over personal health, animal welfare and climate change – and fuelled by campaigns such as the annual Veganuary – the growing interest and participation in veganism looks set to continue. As ever, for foodservice operators, the vegan movement represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Either way, it can’t be ignored. Veganism is Most trend forecasters and market analysts agree that the era of mainstream becoming more veganism has arrived. Growing out of its perceived eccentric origins, and latterly its mainstream and trendy, ‘metropolitan hipster' cache, the increasingly wide interest in the vegan way less niche. of eating is fuelled by a variety of powerful – and highly topical – consumer motives and supported by a burgeoning industry of crowd-funded new business start-ups, cookbooks, Youtube channels, social media and events. But to properly understand the growth it’s important to recognise that it’s largely a ground-up movement, driven mainly by under-35s, and their motivations suggest that this is sustainable growth. "1 of "15 What’s a vegan? Like vegetarians, vegans have cut all meat and fish from their diet, but they go a step further and also exclude any products of animal origin, such as milk, cheese, eggs and honey. More than 860,000 of all vegetarians and vegans also avoid all non- dietary animal products such as leather and wool.! ! The vegan ‘halo effect’ Demand is being It’s interesting to note that, beyond the core of declared vegans, there seems to be a driven not only by growing ‘halo’ of consumers who are not actually vegans themselves, but exhibit declared vegans, but by non-vegans vegan buying behaviour from time to time.
