Joseph Holt Pub Awards 2021! And The Winners Are…
Joseph Holt welcomed over 250 guests to Haydock Racecourse on Thursday 2nd September for the much-delayed Pub Awards ceremony! And what a fantastic day it was!
Originally planned in for March 2020, we finally had the chance to celebrate our fantastic pubs in style, alongside pub managers, finalists, brewery staff and award sponsors.
The Pub Awards is an annual event to celebrate and recognise the great achievements and contributions made by our pubs and their team members over the past year. In total we had 15 awards to give out, all independently judged to strict criteria.
With a record number of pubs and individuals as finalists, choosing the winners was a tough ask! After the last 18 months, we send a huge and heartfelt thank you to all pubs for their support, resilience and determination.
So, without further ado, let’s see which pubs took away the awards and cemented their place in Joseph Holt history.
