Last night the winners to the Great British Pub Awards 2008 were revealed at a glittering awards ceremony on London’s Hilton on Park Lane. Guests were treated to a three course meal and were entertained by TV’s Hugh Dennis of Mock the Week fame. The awards culminated in the Compasses at Pattiswick being crowned with the ultimate award of Great British Pub of the Year. Guests partied until 2am and we are sure that there are a few sore heads this morning!
Look out for the next issue of Morning Advertiser for further coverage.
