Ed Bedington, editor of The Morning Advertiser, which organises the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs, said: “Congratulations to all the pubs that made the list for 2025. It’s a real honour to be able to recognise some of the best gastronomic offers in the pub world and celebrate the diversity that makes up this wonderful sector.
“Good luck to all on the list when we reveal our winners and the positions for every pub. You should all be proud as you’re hitting the right notes with your offers and that’s being recognised across the sector.”
Started in 2009, Top 50 Gastropubs aims to recognise the hardworking individuals in the gastropub sector and be the go-to source for the UK’s best pubs to dine at.
