Managed pub and bar operator TCG has launched a range of new coffee flavours and announced it will continue its Barista of the Year programme.
The new drinks include Vanilla Mocha, Hazelnut Latte and three Iced Frappés in Coffee, Vanilla and Almond flavours. The recipes have been created for TCG by its coffee partner Cafeology, and will be available in 40 pubs and bars, supported by POS.
The Barista of the Year 2015 competition is underway, inviting staff to submit a recipe for a new seasonal coffee or hot chocolate drink. Staff sending in the best paper suggestions will be invited to make their drink in front of judges, with the winner added to the TCG summer drinks menus
TCG chief operating officer Nigel Wright said: “Our coffee offer has advanced in leaps and bounds over the last couple of years, as we have sought to equip our pubs and bars to compete with High Street coffee shops, as part of the overall strategy of building our daytime trade.
“Our partnership with Cafeology gives us an interesting, quality hot drinks range with frequent seasonal changes and new flavours to offer variety. We’ve also invested seriously in training to improve our staff teams’ knowledge and skills so that they can deliver a consistently high-quality serve to customers.
“Last year’s Barista of the Year competition gave our talented staff the chance to get creative with coffee, and the entries were of an impressively high standard, so we’re delighted to be running the contest again.”
