A total of 94 pubs and bars were named county winners, selected from more than 250 highly commended venues invited to the final of the competition, at Penny Social, London. The Whitmore Tap is managed by Molly-May Stevenson.
“These awards are seriously competitive, so to come out on top after such a rigorous judging process is a huge testament to the outstanding hospitality Molly and her team deliver every single day,” said Jayson Perfect, chief operating officer at Butcombe Group. “They consistently go the extra mile to give our guests the very best experience.”
Tristan O’Hana, of the National Pub & Bar Awards, said: “Being selected as a county nominee is impressive enough, as it means you’re right up there with the best in the area. But to be named a county winner is huge.
“The Whitmore Tap is a brilliant example of both independent charm and impressive group operations from the Butcombe team. A huge well done to all involved.”
Butcombe’s Welldiggers Arms, in Petworth, West Sussex, also won awards, being named best pub in West Sussex and winning the Tyrrells Tyrrellbly Good Taste Award.
