Two Pembrokeshire pubs nominated for National Pub Awards
The Golden Inn, in Newport, Pembrokeshire, and The Stackpole Inn, near Pembroke, are among more than 250 businesses nominated. The awards, which return to London on Tuesday, June 24, highlight the best venues across the UK. The 94 winners will be named as the best in their respective counties. Tristan O'Hana, editor of Pub and Bar magazine, which runs the event, 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." The Golden Lion in Newport, Pembrokeshire (Image: Google Maps) The awards look at various elements that affect the customer journey, including marketing, digital presence, design, service, style of offer, and investment. The venues now have around two months to trade off their achievement before making their way to the National Pub and Bar Awards grand final in June. The final, held at Big Penny Social in London, will bring together all 256 nominees to celebrate their success and find out which venues will become County and Regional Winners.
