Testimonials

Words from the winners...

“The response has been overwhelming. Our regulars have been delighted, but what’s surprised me most is the number of new people coming through the doors because they saw the news. It shows the reach of the awards and has brought a sense of pride that goes wider than expected."

Winner: Best Community Pub 2025

Harry Seccombe Owner Chaplin's & The Cellar Bar

“We have been very busy for the time of year, with growth in double figures against last year. It’s a slow burner though, and I’m sure we will continue to gain benefit over the next year and beyond. We will be working even harder to be worthy of the title in the weeks and months to come."

Winner: Best Country Pub 2025

Nigel Smith Landlord The Fleece Inn

"The benefits have already started to show in the brief time since it happened. We’ve been finalists before and when you don’t win, it’s quite disappointing, but it drives you to do better and be better. The best thing about entering the awards is it pushes you to work at your absolute best.”

Winner: Best Pub for Entertainment 2025

Rob Moore Owner The Keynsham Courtyard

"Thanks so much for the award, it really means so much to our team and customers. As a result of last night, we’ve had really great press including a live radio interview, followed by being interviewed by a BBC film crew. Really well done to the Great British Pub Awards team on such a fantastic night!"

Winner: Greene King Pub of the Year 2024

Mark Annear Licensee The Cott Inn

"Winning Community Pub of the Year 2024 in the Great British Pub Awards is a wonderful achievement. We are nothing without our amazing team and wider community of volunteers, and having this recognised means the world. Thank you, The Morning Advertiser, for creating something very special within our community."
