GBPA Pub Heroes
What time do the Great British Pub Awards start tonight?
As the industry faces further misery with increased restrictions, we are hoping to use the awards as a rallying call to remind the entire country of how important pubs and bars are to our society and local communities.
These awards have been adapted to share some inspirational stories on how despite the fact pubs were facing their toughest challenges ever, they didn’t turn their backs on the communities they served.
Stephen Mulhern
We’ll be hearing from a range of outstanding operators tonight across a range of categories, with our host Stephen Mulherne leading the celebrations.
Ed Bedington, the editor of The Morning Advertiser, which organises the awards, said: “I have been truly blown away by the actions and activities of so many operators in our sector.
“When the chips were down, they did not shy away from stepping up and the good that they’ve done for their communities during a truly terrifying time for many is incomparable.
Such an amazing job
“All of the finalists in the awards tonight deserve all the credit for doing such an amazing job, and to me, they’re all winners. I hope we can use these awards to spread these amazing pubs stories far and wide and remind people of the important role that pubs continue to play in our society.”
