2026 WINNERS REVEALED!




Congratulations to our winners!

Over 1,500 people attended the pub industry’s biggest awards event at Evolution London on March 25. Hosted by the wonderful Rylan, a wide diverse array of businesses were celebrated for their exceptional achievements despite challenging circumstances.

The Publican Awards judging process remains the most comprehensive, rigorous and reputable in the industry – ensuring that the awards remain the most respected in the pub trade. Our goal is to provide entrants with a realistic audit of their business, as well as guaranteeing that all awards are given fairly and deservedly.

Ed Bedington, editor of The Morning Advertiser, which organises the awards, said: “These awards are testament to the tenacity and excellence that runs through the pub and bar sector."

“There’s no getting away from the fact that there are plenty of challenges for people running pubs right now, but our winners tonight represent the best in the sector, and despite everything thrown at them, they’re not taking their eye off the ball and continuing to deliver great experiences for customers and amazing careers for their teams.”
