Information for Licencees

Sutton Best Bar None 2010 is being launched to licensees from throughout the borough at a launch event at the Holiday Inn. The application form includes categories for Best Town Centre Bar, Best Club and Best Pub as well as the Listener's / Reader's Choice, as this makes the scheme even more accessible to all venues in the borough. The application is available in either printed format or as a PDF download. The PDF format allows you to save the form to your computer, fill it in at your leisure and email your entry when complete. The completed form can then be saved and used as the basis for next year's application.

To ensure that the Best Bar None process is as painless as possible for licensees, this page includes information and tools to assist in completing the application form. You will find everything that you need to take the first steps to gaining accreditation or even becoming a category or overall winner in the Sutton Best Bar None awards 2010.

• Either download the Application Form (PDF) here or pick up a printed version from the launch. If you have any queries about the information needed or about the application form please contact Best Bar None (details below).
• Please be as detailed as you can, as this will give the assessors more to work with and make the assessment much smoother. However, if you are unsure of how to word your answer, be brief and explain further during the assessment.
• Only give answers that reflect your current operating practices not your future plans, as you will need to give evidence to back up your information - print off these Guidelines (PDF) for advice on the kind of evidence that the assessors will be looking for.
• Once you have completed the application please return it along with the administration fee of £20.00 in the envelope provided.
• After you have returned the completed application, a team of two BII trained independent assessors will visit your premises to confirm the information supplied, and offer advice if need be on how to evidence this information. Make sure that you're prepared for your assessment visit. Have any documents that you have as evidence for your policies ready to be viewed by the assessors.
• Final judging of each category will take place in March and accredited premises and category winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in May / June.
