Last Thursday saw 12 years of hard graft culminate in the Red Lion and Sun being named the best pub in the country. I'm still in shock but utterly delighted and want to pay tribute to all my staff and customers for their help and support in making my pub what it is. #pubawards
@jeffreyjohnbell@GaryUsher_ be amazing if the gov outlined their plans for the sector, especially if they want to build a high-wage economy post-Brexit. one way to support this goal could be to provide some relief on the taxes that burden businesses, allowing them to allocate more funds towards higher wages
In the leafy rural haven of Highgate Village, London, sits one of the capital’s greatest gastropubs – @redlionandsun. The pub offers a menu with modern British pub food, with meats supplied by Highgate Butchers

@mrjamesob I’m an independent operator & I'm having to run faster to stand still. There's no support & no hope. Our pubs are seen as a cultural institution outside of the UK. By ignoring the situation, the government is committing cultural vandalism on a scale that we'll all live to regret.
Huge congratulations to Stosie and her amazing team at @parkersarms and indeed all of the finalists in the @top50gastropubs this year.
A worthy winner among an absolutely outstanding group of the best in our industry.
Thanks to everyone for joining us this year.
