Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C., the London brewer and premium pub company, is proud to announce that London’s Pride at London Heathrow Terminal 2: The Queen’s Terminal won the Best Destination Opening category at the CGA Peach Hero and Icon Awards 2014. It beat fierce competition from Yo! Sushi also at Heathrow Terminal 2 and Nando’s at Gatwick among others. The award ceremony took place last night (November 18, 2014) at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London, EC1Y 4SD.
Two years in the making, London’s Pride covers 5,000 square feet and can accommodate 200 customers. Divided into different areas, guests can relax with a drink, recharge their laptops, download their emails and even buy a book while they wait for their flight to depart. The open kitchen gives customers an opportunity to watch the chefs prepare delicious, fresh food including the Fuller’s Full English breakfast which uses Sandridge farm bacon from pigs that have been reared on spelt, hops and grain from brewing London Pride.
London’s Pride is modern in style, but draws on the traditions and themes of the brewery’s longstanding history and values. The founding members of the Fuller, Smith and Turner partnership are pictured on the wall by the bar together with a timeline detailing significant points in Fuller’s history. Moreover, there is wall art dedicated to the oldest wisteria in the UK that has been growing on the brewery grounds since the early 19th Century.
Jonathon Swaine, Managing Director of Fuller’s Inns, said: “It is an absolute privilege to have won this award, especially following the success of our other transport pubs. London’s Pride has not been open very long and it is very much early days for the pub, so it is fantastic to have received this recognition. It truly is a testament of the hard work, creativity and dedication of the Fuller’s Inns operational and food teams, together with our project partners Caulder Moore, Art Design and Shone Construction Ltd.”
