“It was a testament to his staff and Beverley as a town. We are so pleased to have won these awards. Myself and all the team here at the Kings Head work so hard every day of the year so it is very nice to get some recognition for those efforts.”
“It also shows that while we are seemingly tucked away here in East Yorkshire that we are also a significant part of a much bigger company.”
Mr. Clapison was joined by eight members of his management team for the Revere Awards night in Manchester where along with the other 25 venues in the company, including a wide range of specialist cocktail bars, restaurants and hotels to walk away with the coveted prize of Best Venue.
While Mr. Clapison was delighted that the Kings Head Hotel had won he says that it shows that Beverley has a thriving night time economy which is something the town should be very proud of.
He said;
“It was really nice to bring these awards back home to Beverley. It shows that the town has something to offer everyone not just its valued residents but the many visitors it gets every year.”
Only recently the Kings Head Hotel underwent a major refurbishment that included its 10 hotel rooms.
Mr. Clapison says the appeal of the new boutique rooms are thriving and giving the local economy a real boost, he said;
