The event, which took place at the Bear Hotel in Devizes, Wiltshire, recognised both tenants and those working in managed houses across the Wadworth business.
Wadworth chief executive Chris Welham said: “The ‘Best of the Best Awards’ provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the successes of our dedicated tenants and managed house teams.
"Winners have been chosen throughout our estate for their continued commitment to making their customers’ days and ensuring their pub is the very best in their area.
“It’s a fantastic atmosphere, with managers, business partners and team members from across the company all joining to celebrate together. I’d like to thank everyone at Wadworth for their continued passion, commitment and dedication.”
