Gloucestershire pubs on the shortlist for national award
By James Young | 14th January 2020
Four pubs in the Cotswolds are part of a group of Inns to be shortlisted in a national competition highlighting the best of the best in the UK pub industry.
Operated by Henley-based operator and brewer Brakspear, the four pubs join the list shortlisted in the Pub Accommodation category at the Publican Awards 2020.
The awards, run by leading pub magazine The Morning Advertiser, are open to pubs across the UK.
Brakspear operate the Frogmill at Shipton Oliffe, the George Hotel in Shipston-on-Stour and the Porch House and Sheep in Stow-on-the-Wold.
The Best Pub Accommodation Award will be given to the pub group which offers guests the best overnight stay.
Reaching the finals is the first stage in the Publican Awards' rigorous judging process.
The next steps include a visit by judges to several of the pubs, professional mystery visits and a panel interview in London for the Brakspear senior management team.
Simon Stanbrook, general manager at the Frogmill, said: "We are thrilled to be shortlisted for the Publican Awards.
"We're very proud of our beautiful, comfortable bedrooms, which offer our guests an overnight stay with a boutique hotel feel.
"And, because we're still first and foremost a pub, they also benefit from the sociable, relaxed atmosphere, enjoying a pint in the downstairs bar or a meal in the dining area before turning in for the night just a few steps away.
"We want our guests to feel at ease from the moment they walk through the pub door to to when they check out, feeling rested and refreshed, and we'll be aiming to make the judges feel the same when they visit.
"We've got everything crossed for the winner's announcement in March!"
Editor of The Morning Advertiser Ed Bedington said "We had record entries into the Publican Awards this year, so our judges had a difficult task in choosing the finalists from a very talented field.
"All the pubs that have reached the shortlist deserve to be very proud of their achievement and we wish them all good luck with the next stage of the judging, and look forward to announcing the winners in March."
Winners of the Publican Awards 2020 will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on March 4.
