Fuller's announces best pub
Fuller's has announced the overall winner of its annual Griffin Trophy, which recognises the best pubs in its estate, is the George IV in Chiswick, managed by Jayson Perfect.
Fuller's chief executive, Michael Turner, announced the winners at a presentation ceremony held at Fuller's Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, London.
Presenting the award to Jayson, Michael Turner said: "The George IV is an outstanding pub that is well loved and cared for by Jayson and his team.
"The pub attracts a wide range of people - in fact there are very few people in Chiswick who Jayson doesn't know.
"Jayson started at the George IV in January 2000 and since that date he has taken the pub from strength to strength.
"He is full of drive and enthusiasm and practically bursts with energy.
"Jayson has made excellent use of the comedy club so you will never be short of things to do, there is salsa dancing on Tuesdays, some of the countries top comedy acts at weekends, as well as all the big sporting matches that are on show throughout the year to name but a few of the events Jayson has on offer."
After accepting his award Perfect said: "I am absolutely over the moon. I have won my category in the competition the past two years running and to finally be named the overall winner is such a great achievement for me and all my team who have helped me get here.
"I can't wait to take the trophy back to the pub and share the good news with all my staff and customers."
