Application Process

Assessment of licensed premises will be carried out by competent, impartial assessors, who will ensure consistency of approach. The assessment criteria will be clear and straight forward, with a minimum of bureaucracy and with constructive feedback provided to all entrants.

Five Easy Steps

You should complete a short application form identifying which category your premises falls within.

A trained assessor will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient appointment to visit your premises. Two trained assessors carry out the assessment which lasts between 1 and 2 hours.

Assessments are based on the essential, desired and bonus criteria in the scoring documentation.

Your assessment will be scored and, subject to reaching all the criteria essential to your premises, you will receive Best Bar None Accreditation status.

Solihull’s Best Bar None scheme awards prizes for best in category and overall ‘Best Bar None’. If you rank within the top scoring premises your assessment paperwork will be put before a judging panel, who will decide the winner for each category. Feedback for all premises will be available from the assessors.

If you receive a Best Bar None award, your premises details will be added to the Best Bar None scheme website with links available to your own, and other relevant websites. Additionally, you will be able to display the Best Bar None logo on your website and all advertising literature.

Premises that receive Best Bar None awards may also receive publicity within local and trade press and other publications.
