Every December, Blandford-based Hall & Woodhouse Brewery’s Chairman, Anthony Woodhouse, Managing Director, Matt Kearsey and Family Director, Mark Woodhouse, all embark on a 2,000-mile round trip to sample every managed H&W pub’s roast potatoes in the lead up to Christmas Day.
Over the last 10 years, it is estimated that between them, the H&W leadership team has consumed more than 9,000 roast potatoes and a whopping 300,000 calories.
Matt Kearsey, Managing Director of Hall & Woodhouse, said: “Our roast potato tour is an annual tradition which we all look forward to. Christmas is such a special time of year, and it is important to us that we get out on the road to each and every one of our managed pubs to catch up with our teams, and of course sample their excellent roasties.
“Our pubs go head-to-head to fight it out for the coveted title of the ‘Best Christmas Roasties’. We put the utmost importance on serving the most delicious roasties to our guests, because we all know that they’re the best part of any Christmas dinner!”
