As part of the agreement, Holmfirth based Bewley’s, will be the recommended supplier to all 300 plus Thwaites pubs. This will include supplying coffee machinesand coffee beans, as well as offering specialist barista training for licensees and their staff.
Increasing demand for coffee service
Thwaites food support manager, Nicola Underwood said: “This is a landmark occasion for Thwaites and provides us with a great opportunity to widen our pub offering. The demand for coffee service in pubs has increased significantly over the last few years and it’s important that we are meeting this demand with a quality offer. We want all of our pubs to be at the heart of the community, where customers can come for a relaxed meal or hot beverage with friends, and we know that the service Bewley’s offers can deliver this.”
Catherine Clarke, area sales manager from Bewley’s commented: “We are so excited to be partnering with Thwaites to be their nominated coffee supplier. Coffee accounts for approximately 50% of breakfast beverage sales in pubs, so it’s a huge opportunity for Thwaites to broaden their offer and increase coffee sales and we look forward to a long future ahead.”
