Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C., the London brewer and premium pub company, is delighted to announce that The Mad Bishop and Bear [1st Floor, Paddington Station, Paddington, London W2 1HB] has been named Pub of the Year by West London CAMRA.
Raising the bar for premium pubs, The Mad Bishop and Bear saw off tough competition from its competitors in West London. CAMRA judge each pub in the competition on a variety of criteria such as atmosphere, level of service, value for money and community focus, with extra weighting given to the quality of their real ale.
Jonathon Swaine, Managing Director for Fuller’s Inns, said: “This is an incredible accolade for Helen and her team at The Mad Bishop and Bear and, indeed, for Fuller’s. It is great to see all their hard work paying off, from being named Fuller’s Master Cellarman of the Year 2014 to now being the best pub in West London. You know that when you order a beer from Helen and her team it will be the closest thing to the perfect serve. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Helen and her team for all their passion and hard work’.”
