Pubs weigh roast pricing amid rising costs and supply pressures
Roast dinners remain a staple on many pub menus, but surging costs are pushing prices higher and raising questions about affordability. The Lock In podcast episode 123 examines the opportunities and challenges facing roast dinners, including a look at the current supply picture with Aubrey Allen’s Lucianne Allen and New Covent Garden Market’s Tommy Leighton. The discussion asks where the hotspots are and how operators can navigate the commodity market amid rising costs, and it considers how pubs are innovating on roast dinners in response to price pressures. Two operators feature in the discussion: Glen Leeson from the Tamil Prince and Tom De Keyser from Chalk Freehouse, who explain how they’re shaking up the standard roast. Heath shares his candid views on Yorkshire puddings as part of the wider roast debate. The episode is available to watch or listen now. Guests describe practical shifts in menus, sourcing and kitchen routines they believe can help manage margins without sacrificing quality. Source: The Morning Advertiser
