Godshill's The Taverners Named On List Of UK's Best Pubs

An Isle of Wight pub has been named one of the best in the country — and will now compete for a national title.

The Taverners, Godshill, has been included in a list of 94 pubs and bars across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It means the pub has been crowned a County Winner as part of the 2022 National Pub and Bar Awards.

It will be officially crowned at a red carpet celebration in London in June, where 15 Regional Winners will also be announced.

Winners will also fight it out for the esteemed accolade — the overall National Pub and Bar of the Year.

Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub and Bar magazine, said:

“Just from being out in these venues, you can see how much pubs and bars mean to people across the UK.

“With visitor numbers increasing, it’s more important than ever for operators to deliver a standout service during every visit – no matter the business in question.

"These 94 County Winners are wonderful examples of the brilliance of today’s modern on-trade. If you live near one of these sites, make sure you pay them a visit!”

The Taverners is the only pub on the Isle of Wight on the list.
