Hosted by Top Gear front man and Phoenix Nights star Paddy McGuinness, guests enjoyed humour, music, plenty of drinks and snack options, a great meal, an amazing awards ceremony and it was a chance to finally meet up with fellow members of the hospitality trade who have been so missed over the past two years.
Here are some photos from the evening so maybe you recognise some of the people in these – or maybe you were one of the many hitting the dance floor?

Pink is the new red: a glamorous entrance

Say 'martini'!

One for Instagram

Catching up over a pint or 10

Smiles all round

Strictly's new stars?

Laughing the night away

Cutting shapes on the dancefloor

Award-winning grins

Hands in the air if you can't wait for The Publican Awards 2023!
