Editor of the Pub and Bar magazine, Tristan O’Hana, said: “The aim of the National Pub and Bar Awards is simple, we want to showcase how brilliant these businesses are and how valuable pubs and bars are to the fabric of society across the whole of the UK.
“It has never been harder in hospitality.
“Whether it’s a countryside pub with rooms or a city centre bar showing live sport, these operations deserve widespread recognition and more customers – hopefully the National Pub and Bar Awards can help with both.”
