Cirrus Inns is delighted to announce that the collection won the prestigious ‘Best Drinks Offer’ accolade at the 2020 Publican Awards.

Cirrus Inns is dedicated to supporting local suppliers and small businesses in the collection’s areas, celebrating the best of traditional British producers and championing them as a point of heritage and not as a passing trend. Alongside a constantly evolving menu of premium spirits, craft and local beers and cocktails, a large selection of Fine wines from around the world take pride of place in each menu, alongside this commitment to celebrating Britain.

Using this complete offering, the collection focus on creating communities amongst its sites by organising exciting events all year around, showcasing a key supplier at the centre, such as tastings, seasonal dinners with pairings and party-style gin tastings. Cirrus is committed to ensuring that all guests are catered for, from premium alcoholic options to exciting experiences for non-drinkers, with soft drink alternatives across the board. Alongside a dedicated schedule of events, Cirrus offer unique bar staff training opportunities in the UK and abroad to ensure that each member of its team position themselves as an expert.

The Publican Awards’ ‘Best Drinks Offer’ accolade is awarded to a pub company that demonstrates drinks retail excellence, with drinks sales a key part of the company’s total profits. Cirrus impressed the judges with its emphasis on strong partnerships built with local producers, sustainability throughout its operations and exceptional staff training, awarding them the Best Drinks Offering in the country.

Fabien Garrigues, Head of Beverage at Cirrus Inns said: “The Cirrus Family are over the moon to be recognised in our industry for the Best Drinks Offer and are very proud of the exceptional partnerships we have created and nurtured with our local suppliers. We pride ourselves in not only choosing the best local beers, wines and spirits, but also our commitment to offering something new and exciting for our guests to try at any one of our sites. Our focus is to create outstanding experiences for drinkers and non-drinkers throughout our sites, with the help of our extremely talented teams.”

The awards took place at the Battersea Evolution at Battersea Power Station on Wednesday 4th March, with some of the UK’s best operators in the business crowned. The Publican Awards celebrate the achievements of leading pub companies across a range of categories, which reflect the products and services on offer across the British Pub Estate.
