High note for Highwood
Congratulations to Solihull licensee Dave Hunt, who made it into the final four contenders for this year's Publican Awards. Dave's run The Highwood in Solihull for the past decade, recently switching from manager to leaseholder.
Full marks, also, to: The Bell in Welford on Avon, shortlisted for "best pub food"; The Fox in central Birmingham, nominated for "best community pub" (it's a really friendly hostelry, with great beer, only a stone's throw from the Hippodrome); Oxfordshire's Hook Norton brewery, down for both "pub company of the year" and "regional brewer of the year".
A spokesman for the organisers said : "We are looking for the very best that this great industry has to offer and our expert judging panels simply will not settle for anything less! Not only have [our finalists] risen to this challenge, they have gone far beyond that and grown their business through innovation and sheer hard work."
