“It is wonderful that licensed premises across the region are continuing to demonstrate their dedication in running establishments in such a professional manner.

“The Community Safety Executive is committed to ensuring Aberdeenshire is a safe place for all who come to visit, and Best Bar None is a very effective resource available to us.”

This year’s recipients were:

Gold Awards: The Colquhonnie House Hotel, Strathdon; Holiday Inn Aberdeen West, Westhill; Cheers Café Bar and Tavern, Fraserburgh; Harbour Lights, Peterhead.

Silver Awards: Black Bull Inn, Inverurie; The Royal Hotel, Stonehaven.

The Provost of Aberdeenshire, Councillor Jill Webster, presented the awards at the ceremony.

She said: “The Best Bar None awards are a great opportunity for licensed premises to demonstrate their focus on safety and customer care.

“By signing up to the Best Bar None scheme, proprietors show a willingness to work with the police and licensing staff and keep their business attractive and safe for their customers.

“I would encourage other licensed premises across Aberdeenshire to get involved for the benefit of your business, staff, customers and the wider community.”
