🏆 VERY PROUD MOMENT FOR THE BEGGAR & GENTLEMAN! 🏆
I’m absolutely over the moon to share that The Beggar & Gentleman, Hoyland has been named a FINALIST for BEST TURNAROUND at the Craft Union Operator Awards 2026! ❤️🏆
And what makes this even more special is that we’ve been selected from around 650 Craft Union pubs across the country! 🤯👏
To say I’m proud is an understatement.
We’ve put so much hard work, time and passion into turning this pub around and making it somewhere Hoyland can be proud of. But this recognition isn’t just about me — it belongs to everyone who has supported us.
To all our regulars, staff, friends, sports teams, entertainers and our fantastic local community — THANK YOU. ❤️
Every pint you’ve bought, every event you’ve attended, every post you’ve liked or shared, and every time you’ve walked through our doors has played a part.
We wanted to create more than just a pub. We wanted The Beggar & Gentleman to be a real community pub — somewhere everyone feels welcome and somewhere Hoyland can be proud to call its own.
To be recognised as one of the finalists out of around 650 Craft Union pubs is something I’m incredibly proud of.
Whatever happens at the awards, we’ve already achieved something very special.
This nomination belongs to ALL OF US. ❤️
From the bottom of my heart…
THANK YOU HOYLAND!
Now let’s see if we can bring that BEST TURNAROUND trophy home! 🏆🍻
