The Old Granary in Wareham has been named the ‘Best Pub & Bar in Dorset’ by The National Pub & Bar Awards. The pub is part of the Hall & Woodhouse group and has been nationally recognised as the best pub in Dorset for its 'diverse and creative approach to hospitality'. Additionally, the pub has been praised for the way the team navigated the past 18 months in light of the pandemic and for the stringent safety measures that have been in place to keep guests safe. Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine, which organises the awards, said: “I’ve never been prouder of this industry. The entries for this year’s awards demonstrated the undeniable value that communities place on their beloved pubs and bars. To be able to acknowledge the hard work and diligence of venues across the UK is an absolute privilege. These outstanding venues deserve this recognition now more than ever.”
