The winners of this year’s Scottish Bar and Pub Awards were celebrated last month as hundreds of hospitality industry professionals gathered in Glasgow. Now in their 29th year, the awards shine a spotlight on “all that is good and great” about the industry with more than 100 venues shortlisted as finalists at the event.

The winners picked up their trophies at a Grand Ole Opry-themed ceremony held at the Doubletree Hilton, where industry veteran Stuart Ross, former Chief Executive of Belhaven was honoured with the Legend of the Industry Award.

Everyone at Regency Purchasing Group would like to use this opportunity to congratulate David and Ruth Wither, founders of Edinburgh-based Montpelier Group - a Regency member, who picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award.  

Susan Young organiser and Editor of industry publication DRAM, said,

“These awards are all about the people that make the hospitality industry the success it is. This year we had an exceptional entry. All the finalists deserve credit for the great venues that they run, but the trophies were presented to the pubs, restaurants and people that impressed their customers, judges and mystery shoppers most. Congratulations to each and every one!”
