The Mowden Hotel wins Ei Pub Partnerships Pub Hero at the GBPAs

Delivering over 10,000 free meals to struggling locals, the Mowden Hotel roped in the whole family to keep the community going during lockdown.

Winning the title of Ei Publican Partnerships Pub Hero of the Year in the Great British Pub Awards Pub Heroes 2020, licensees Simon and Rachel Leadbetter raised nearly £10,000 to help fund the support.

The couple provided much needed support to vulnerable locals including one single mother who’d been suffering from cancer and was so ill her 12-year-old daughter was having to cook for her.
