UK pubs enjoy business loan success
Reported on Fri, 13 Jan 2006
The value of taking out a business loan to help in the opening or refurbishing of a pub was in full evidence at the prestigious Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Pub Design Awards 2005.
The winners of the awards, which look to reward outstanding vision and construction in British pubs, were officially announced yesterday at the Zerodegrees pub in Bristol, itself the winner of the 2005 New Build category.
Other notable winners included the Racecourse of Salford and the Prestoungrange Gothenberg of Scotland in the Refurbished Pub and CAMRA and English Heritage Conservation Award categories respectively.
Meanwhile, the Yorkshire Terrier in York won the Conversion to Pub Use award for converting a shop and rear yard into a popular pub with an attached shop selling brewery merchandise and memorabilia.
Pub Design Award judge Steven Parissien commented: "At a time when new design, ethical conservation and sustainable construction are the fodder of weekly TV, these should provide models of good practice for pub owners and pub architects alike.
"We urge them all to seize the day, get back to the drawing board, and provide us with pubs that are appropriate for the 21st century."
Anyone who, like the management behind these award-winning establishments, has an innovative idea for a pub design should take out a business loan and make that idea a reality.
