Sustainable Pub Award
A greener pub that still pours a perfect pint.
About this category
This award recognises a pub that has measurably reduced its environmental impact through energy saving, waste reduction, local sourcing, water saving or food waste schemes. Judges look for evidence and results.
Eligibility
Open to UK pubs of every size.
Judging criteria
- Measured results
- Energy and waste
- Sourcing
- Engagement of team and customers
- Investment
Qualitative criteria
Sustainability built into how the pub runs.
Metrics
- Energy use
- Waste recycled
- Food waste
- Local sourcing share and savings
Additional criteria
Entries should include a short description of the pub, photographs where helpful, supporting figures such as trade, covers, events or reviews, and, where possible, comments from regulars. Figures can be given as ranges and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Every entry should show a commitment to responsible serving. Judges consider the size, setting and ownership of every pub, so a single room village local competes on equal terms with a large town centre pub or a small group.
