The Great British Pub Awards - Pub Heroes
The Portsmouth Arms wins wins Charity Champion at the Great British Pub Awards
Charity is often at the heart of many pubs and this was not something that was forgotten during lockdown, particularly at the Portsmouth Arms.
This Basingstoke-based business was declared Charity Champion at the Great British Pub Awards Pub Heroes 2020 after raising more than £23,000 with a world record setting longest pub quiz.
Manager Richard Curtis ran a 34 hour and 11 minute virtual quiz to claim the record, and in total during lockdown raised more than £47,000 for charity.
