Trading Style

Currently, the Hansom Cab benefits from having a good day time trade due to it’s city centre location and has regular live entertainment and music events scheduled throughout the month. A very active rhythm of the week is essential at this venue and the current licensees have previously used this effectively to drive trade and footfall. Being able to push these customer focussed activities towards the day time trade and also to drive the evening custom are key opportunities at this particular venue. The drinks offer available is a good mix of value wet led draft lagers alongside a variety of spirits and bottled products, giving the customer base a healthy choice of thirst quenchers.
