Testimonials
The Cary Arms in Babbacombe, Devon, won the Newcomer of the Year's award at the 2010 Top 50 Gastropub Awards.
"It is definitely good publicity for us," says marketing manager Jo Di'Carlo.
"It is always good to win awards and promote what we are doing. To win a prestigious national award endorses our work here and the Publican's Morning Advertiser is a well known magazine. The award has pride of place behind the bar so people notice it and it becomes a talking point."
The Lord Nelson in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, won the Business Innovation Award in the 2010 Top 50 Gastropub Awards.
Dean Thacker, general manager of the pub, says:
"It was brilliant to win, the team were made up. It is a great endorsement of what we are doing here with our pizza and ice cream parlours and homemade sauces and condiments."
