I'm doing some market research for a new business i'm starting - if you have 5 minutes it would be much appreciated if you could fill in this questionnaire.
Hi. Ruth and Jeremy have decided to take the plunge and take over the Continental, Preston. We are planning major changes inside & out and are busy refurbishing the place at the moment. It's always been one of our favourite pubs, but has been looking a little neglected in recent years. We'll be open by the end of July / beginning of August all being well and we hope you like the new look.
Food-wise, we'll be using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to offer a daytime, children's, & evening menus. We'll have a large range of soft and alcoholic drinks, including coffees, smoothies & milkshakes, cask ales, continental lagers, good wine and spirits. The garden will have heated areas, weekend BBQ's, and children's play equipment. We are also creating a unique events space that will work as a children?s venue in the daytime and an evening music / arts venue for adults, where you'll be able to join in with all sorts of things from children's entertainment to stand up comedy, and everything inbetween.
We're still making decisions and would really like to know what you think about the children?s space & needs. We are looking at providing children?s entertainment from dressing up to gardening, book readings to clowns, and a party space for hire. We would much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill in the following questions with as much info as you can ? and feel free to get the answers from your children!
Please just send it back via facebook or email it to [email protected]. If you?ve not got time, thank you for taking the time to read this and we will see you when we open!
