Oxfordshire pub wins Best Pub for Food in the UK
The pub has been recognised for being "true to its routes"
An Oxfordshire pub has been recognised for being "true to its routes" and serving "exceptional" food, as it has won an award as part of the Great British Pub Awards.
The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, was awarded Best Pub for Food on Wednesday September 24th, at the pub industry’s annual awards.
16 pubs from across the UK were recognised in the awards with other categories including ‘Best Pub Garden’, ‘Best Pub for Families’ and ‘Best Pub for Dogs’.
The Great British Pub Awards have been running for more than two decades, giving recognition to the best pubs in the country across a range of categories reflecting how the public use the pub
Ed Bedington, editor of The Morning Advertiser, which organises the awards, said: “This is what can happen when hospitality businesses are given the room and capacity to invest into an area – they create jobs, wealth and community assets. All of which are currently at risk from our government’s current strategy of taxation, which is strangling projects like this.
Mr Bedington added: "Pubs are a huge part of British cultural life and we’re thrilled to unveil the finest examples from across the UK. These pubs truly stand out and represent the best of the best when it comes to offering quintessential pub experience to guests. All of our winners excel across the board.”
Meanwhile, The Crown Wharf, in Stone, took the top prize as Great British Pub of 2025.
Organisers also say, “these awards aim to put a spotlight on British pubs, helping drive more footfall and, importantly, highlighting the jobs and safe spaces created in communities.”
