Our village pub has just been awarded "dining pub of the year" by Luxlife magazine. Apart from the fact that this magazine sprays awards around like confetti I find it hard to comprehend how they managed this as the pub has been shut for virtually the whole of 2020! It is a very good local and the food is excellent but hardly Michelin star standard.

This nonsense is getting out of hand, the world and his mother have an award scheme. I don't think I have ever been to a chip shop or Indian restaurant that wasn't 'award winning'. I am sure it is some sort of scam where they pay for their award by some organisation nobody has heard of.
