The operators of a Crowthorne pub have been recognised in an important industry awards.
Hall & Woodhouse has been nationally recognised at the 2025 Publican Awards as the ‘Best Managed Pub Company with more than 51 sites’.
The industry awards celebrate the best quality pub companies across the UK and serve as the leading benchmark for success within the pub trade.
Judges of The Publican Awards shortlisted Hall & Woodhouse against three other finalists in the Best Managed Pub Company category.
The winners were announced at an awards ceremony held at London’s Battersea Evolution, hosted by TV presenter Claudia Winkleman.
The independent family brewer went through a rigorous judging process and a business audit from industry experts before receiving the coveted award.
To achieve this accolade, businesses need to demonstrate strong innovation and have had a successful performance throughout the last year.
Candidates also must provide excellent customer service, have robust retail standards, and strong CSR initiatives.
Matt Kearsey, managing director of Hall & Woodhouse, said: “We are so grateful to be presented with the Best Managed Pub Company Award.
“Since 1777, our company’s purpose has been to make people’s day and enrich our communities, and we’re proud that this has never faltered despite the recent turbulent years for the sector.
“Since the pandemic, we have successfully transitioned from a “weathering the storm” mindset to a renewed sense of determination and ambition.
“We brought innovation back to the forefront, and delivered exciting projects, including our brand-new £6 million pub Hall & Woodhouse Crowthorne in Berkshire.
“A further £14 million investment is planned for our pub estate this year, and we have set ourselves the target of matching the £850,000 we donated to local good causes last year.
“We will not rest on our laurels and are continuously looking at ways we can build on our success with our team, guests, and innovation at the heart of what we do.”
Hall & Woodhouse is an independent family company that brews award winning Badger Ales and Outland Beers and runs an estate of pubs across the south of England.
