Joseph Holt Pub Awards 2022 – Winners Announced!

We welcomed over 200 guests to Haydock Racecourse on Friday 23rd September to celebrate our annual Pub Awards ceremony!

We love our Pub Awards as they give us a chance to sign a light on our brilliant pubs together with our managers, pub staff, award sponsors and brewery staff.

It allows us to recognise the achievements and contributions made by our pubs and their team members over the past year. In total we had 19 awards to give out, all independently judged to strict criteria.
