A total of 33 of the borough’s pubs, bars and clubs have joined the 2011 Sutton Best Bar None scheme.

Each of the premises are currently being assessed on whether they have achieved the standards of customer care and public safety, required under the 2011 BBN scheme.

The licensees that meet the standards will become accredited members of the scheme, and will be put forward to be judged by an independent panel, in one of four categories: best town centre pub, best community pub, best town centre bar and best club.

The winners and runners up of each category, in addition to the overall winner will be announced at an awards dinner on July 5, at the Holiday Inn Sutton who are sponsoring the scheme.

The winner of the Reader’s Choice Award, sponsored by the Sutton Guardian, will also be announced at the black tie event, which is expected to attract a maximum of 125 guests.
