The Top 50 Gastro Pubs were revealed at an awards lunch at Lillibrooke Manor at the end of January. The Top Gastro Pub owners from all over the country gathered in the Great Barn for a lunch prepared by top TV chef Tom Kerridge and the Lillibrooke chefs in our large newly built kitchens. Awards followed with The Sportsman, Whitstable, Kent taking the number one spot! Tom Kerridges’ pub, The Coach, only 7 miles down the road took 2nd place! Our local, The Beehive, was awarded the no. 8 spot. Celebrations continued in the Great Barn Bar and later with staff and guests being entertained by a fire eating performance and amazing fireworks display over the Manor House.
Following a record breaking sales month the Lillibrooke Team have done some essential research at The Beehive and can confirm the food and service were excellent and our local well deserves a top 10 spot!
