This week saw the Lass O’Gowrie pub become the cream of Manchester’s pubs after winning Pub of the Year at the esteemed Manchester Food & Drinks awards 2009.  The award was handed to the pub, famous for its pies and pints, by the Hairy Bikers duo, Si and Dave.

Licensee of the 170-year-old traditional boozer, Gareth Kavanagh raised a glass to the recognition, “It’s fantastic news.  We may be small but it shows size isn’t everything, it’s what we do that counts and now I know the nine real ales on the bar and our famous home-made pies really do stand out from the crowd.  We’re all absolutely thrilled”.

Operations Director for Greene King, Andy Spencer said, “Gareth and his team really deserve this award.  They’re innovative and passionate about the business and this really shows when you go to the pub, it’s a real jewel in the crown”.

The bikers, who ditched their usual leathers for the occasion, said: “We dusted down the dinner suits and what a great night we had. It is wonderful to realise what a wealth of food treasure we have in the north west. The food festival has been one of the best – we can’t wait for next year.”
