STONEGATE pub company has ‘unwrapped’ a new food menu across its millennial-focused Common Room brand in time for freshers’ week.

Rolled out across its 45 sites earlier this month (August 8), the new menu features several special additions, including wrapped burgers, sharers, and ‘challenge dishes’.

Catering to “ongoing millennial demand for world food and vegan dishes”, the menu has been expanded to include the likes of vegetable Penang curry and lime and chilli chicken salad.

The drinks list has also been refreshed to include canned cocktails (served in retro pop cans with sweet garnishes), the addition of sharing cocktails, and an expanded craft beer range.

The Common Room’s ‘More’ loyalty card is also central to the new offer; card holders can earn double points on Mondays and at selected live sports events throughout the year. Churros Tuesday and Wings Wednesday – where both churros and wings are 25p each on the respective days – will also be in effect all year.

Jessica Dixon of Stonegate said the firm is confident the updated menu “will see us maintain our position as the go-to destination for whatever the occasion”.
