A spokesperson for the awards said: "We're busy creating a truly unforgettable evening that will give pub teams an ideal place to network and enjoy a fantastic night together.
"The event isn't just about the glitz and glamour; it's a chance for you and your team to gain the recognition you deserve, catch up with industry leaders, and share in the celebration of our wonderful sector."
The Great British Pub Awards 2023 is taking place on Tuesday, September 19 at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.
Having opened in 2022, the East End Fox previously won Pub Investment of the Year at the pub industry’s prestigious Night of Excellence Awards.
Ferrier Richardson launched the bar after turning a closed site into a thriving business by giving it an expensive £300,000 revamp.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
