Research shows pub goers want to pour their own gravy
New consumer research has shown that 93% of pub customers prefer to pour gravy themselves, and that 83% said they would be more likely to return to a pub if they were allowed to pour their own gravy.
The new research, conducted by gravy brand Maggi, further disclosed that almost all of the 2,000 UK adults interviewed said good gravy was crucial to a roast dinner (96%), and that 94% would like to be given a gravy boat for their table when eating a roast dinner at a pub or restaurant.
Susan Gregory, head of food at Nestlé Professional, said: “Our new research reveals that the British public are passionate about gravy and want – almost unanimously – to see pubs and restaurants put gravy boats back on the table.
“It’s great to hear how strongly they feel about this truly British tradition, and underlines how important generous portions of good quality gravy is to meals, especially roast dinners.”
