When we received the call from our friends at the
Publican Morning Advertiser, asking if we could be involved in the judging process for this year's
Publican Awards, we just couldn't say no.
To be involved with the Awards that names some of the biggest movers and shakers in our industry was something that we simply couldn't turn down, and we've taken great pride in applying our skills and expertise in coordinating mystery visits to finalists in several categories, including
Best Food Offer,
Best Community Pub Operator,
Best Accommodation Operator,
Best Microbrewing Pub Company and
more.
The feedback from these visits was used by the judges to help determine the winners, and of course, our arms then had to be firmly twisted to make us join over 1,100 guests for the glitzy ceremony at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
All in all it was a superb night, with many very worthy winners recognised for their efforts across the industry, as we found out which businesses and individuals are the ones to watch in 2013.
The HospitalityGEM table certainly took advantage of the hospitality last night. Here's our report from the evening...
Venue: Excellent
Food: Amazing
Winners: Outstanding
Drink: Guzzled
Hangover: Terrible
