Organised in conjunction with Pub & Bar magazine, the National Pub & Bar Awards crowns 94 of the best pubs and bars from each county across the UK, as well as awarding over 250 highly commended pubs and bars who will all be invited to the Grand Final. There, Pub & Bar go on to reveal the Top 10 Pubs & Bars in the UK which is voted for separately by a panel of handpicked industry judges, as well as 15 regional winners and one overall National Pub & Bar of the Year.
From perfect service to product range, aesthetic design or entertainment schedules, the winners are selected by Pub & Bar magazine’s internal judging panel on all of the aspects required to provide ultimate hospitality within the on-trade.
“These pubs represent all that is great about the modern on-trade,” says Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine. “You can only imagine the fantastic variety of operations we have discovered through the judging process – it’s been an absolute pleasure to investigate just how all of these incredible operators run their businesses… What’s great about the Awards is that all the attendees of the Grand Final are already winners – they’re the best in their county.”
