Chef & Brewer, the 130 strong country pub brand, has launched its Spring menu featuring a new pudding suggested by the winner of its Proof is in the Pudding competition.
Stephanie Silk, from Glasgow, entered the competition – which was supported by Great British Bake-Off contestant, Richard Burr – with her Salted Caramel Banoffee Cheesecake suggestion. After making it through to the final five, her pudding came out on top after a Facebook vote and will now feature on the menu in pubs across the UK, launching 24 March.
The proof of the pudding…
Caroline Gallimore, Brand Manager for Chef & Brewer, said: “With every menu refresh we look at new ways to develop and innovate what we offer; we’ve had some real success in bringing our guests into the decision making process and there was strong support to see Stephanie’s dish included as one of our new puddings. We can’t wait to see what our guests think of the dish they voted for.”
Gluten free menu
As well as the introduction of 18 new dishes, the brand has also spent time in creating alternative versions of more than 20 of their dishes to offer a separate non-gluten containing menu. Caroline added: “Too often guests who suffer with allergies or intolerances are left with minimal or uninspiring choices when dining out – with this menu we sought to change this by investing resources to deliver a wide range of dishes that can provide a non-gluten containing option in all menu categories; from starter, main and pudding, through to our evening and lunch deals.
“This is just the starting block for us as we hope to continue to further develop our offering and cater to the varying tastes and requirements of our guests.”
Spirit Pub Company owns and operates around 800 managed pubs across the UK under brands such as Flaming Grill, Chef & Brewer, and Taylor Walker.
