Top 50 Gastropubs Awards entry deadline extended

Three categories are open for entry to any great food-serving pub and include:

• Business Innovation of the Year
• Front of House Manager of the Year
• Newcomer of the Year

By entering the awards you give yourself and your pub the chance to be immortalised as part of the prestigious annual event, which reveals the UK’s best food pubs.

Previous winners have gone on to make it onto the Top 50 list and have also benefitted from national press coverage.

The awards celebrate the greatest chefs in the sector and the work they do, as well as being a great time to catch up with other chefs in the industry.

If you’re a new kid on the block, you’ve managed to do something innovative to benefit the business or you have the world’s best front-of-house manager – maybe you’re a triple threat – then we want to hear from you.

The awards are free to enter and it only takes a moment… you just need to fill out a form here and send it back before the deadline on Friday, 30 October.

Host and two Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge of the Hand & Flowers in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, said: “It’s an honour and really exciting to be presenting the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropub Awards 2016. To be able to name the 50 best gastropubs in the UK for the second year in a row is something really special.

“These awards are about recognising the great and hard work of pub chefs and the strength of great British pub food. I’m proud to be a part of it again and I can’t wait to see who will take the number one spot next year.”
