“I’d always wanted to run my own pub and for me it was really about getting the basics right – great quality cask and a friendly welcome.” Steve and Mandy Edwards, Castle Mona, Newcastle Under Lyme “We use mood measuring technology to test the emotional state of customers. Whatever mood they’re in when they arrive, whether they’re stressed, tense or just feeling a bit low, we use a special blend of herbs and spices in our dishes to restore their emotional wellbeing.” Sanjeev Kumar, Sanjeev's Indian Restaurant & Bar, Stoke-on-Trent “This Award is a fantastic recognition of all the hard work we’ve put into making The Globe Inn a safe, enjoyable place to visit. We’re thrilled and grateful to our dedicated and hard-working staff team who have implemented the pub’s policies, and to Punch Taverns for their support with the refurbishment.” Sharon and John Chittock, Globe, Chichester “Since we took on the pub it’s all been about making it work so we keep trying out new ideas to drive trade. We involve the local community in everything we do and we want to continue to work with Punch to make our great pub work!” Peter Gough, George & Dragon, Thringstone “It’s really important for us to get honest feedback from our guests so that we can improve on our offer and deliver the high standards we strive for. I couldn’t be happier that Sarah has won, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the cash than on a dress for her big day.” Barry Haworth, Running Horse, Bewdley “The Red Lion is the people’s pub; we’re just looking after it for them! We always welcome the feedback we get from our customers and that is how we will move this lovely pub forwards.” Shelly and Dave Page, The Red Lion, Atherstone “We have been Cask Marque accredited for the last five years, and two years ago we received a Gold Beautiful Beer Award.
