Hopefully, you’ve just enjoyed lucrative business during the Bank Holiday weekend just gone, but what is in store for us all during the months of May, June and July?
- May
- VE Day falls on Friday 8th and the long Spring Bank Holiday weekend is May 23rd to the 25th.
- June
- The glorious month of June heralds the summer solstice on 21st – the longest day of the year, and, if we’re lucky, some warm and bright summer weather with long warm evenings.
- On June 29th the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships will begin.
- July
- On July 2nd to 5th, we can enjoy the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, in Northamptonshire and lets home they have good dry weather for it this year.
- Of course, we will all be reminded that it’s American Independence Day, on July 4th. Many Americans, living in the UK, will, no doubt, want to celebrate by eating out.
- Then between July 16 and July 19 – the Open Golf Tournament is being played at Royal Birkdale and will be the topic of much discussion between all amateur golfers throughout the country.
- And of course, we can’t forget the Football World Cup, with the final being played on July 19th in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York.
So what does that all mean for the catering industry?
In a nutshell, there will be a lot, for fans of the different sports, to talk about and discuss, and where better to do that, than over a lovely meal in a local restaurant.
So, are you ready for the opportunities that this summer has to offer?
Will you be actively promoting a celebration of the major events?
If you do, your restaurant will stand out from the crowd and will develop a reputation for being on-trend.
So, what do you need to do now?
If we have a summer like 2025, it will get warmer and warmer as the days go by, so have you checked if:
- The kitchen extraction and ventilation is up to scratch?
