Why you shouldn’t overlook your core lager range

Make the most of Macmillan Coffee Morning
Turn your cakes, cuppas and cappuccinos into a cause this September to raise funds and fill your venue with friendly faces
Spread the word
Setting up a Facebook event is a piece of cake. Add details, the date and times so everyone knows when you’ll be popping the kettle on. Invite people that follow your venue, sprinkling teasers and reminders on social to keep it on their radar. Don’t forget to share how much you’ve raised afterwards.
Treats, teas and coffee
Cakes are often the star but don’t forget you can whip up savoury bakes too (like our quiche recipe, see right). Either way, they’re best with a brew. Make a big batch of filter coffee for easy pours. For top-notch tea, Teapigs have everything from English breakfast to speciality green, peppermint, chamomile and more.
Care homes count
A coffee morning is the perfect way to bring residents together. Simply pop posters in shared spaces and invite families to join too. Whether it’s a scaled-back cake and cuppa or a big bake sale, it’s a lovely way to encourage smiles, raise some money and share in a slice of helping people with cancer.
