We have some incredibly exciting news to share. The Bridge Inn & Ferry has been named Best-Loved Local Pub at the Muddy Stilettos Glos & Worcs Awards 2026, and we are absolutely thrilled.
This award means the world to us. Not because of the title itself, but because of where it comes from: you, our guests, our regulars, and the wonderful community that has made The Bridge Inn & Ferry the pub it is today.
What Are the Muddy Stilettos Awards?
For those unfamiliar, Muddy Stilettos is one of the UK’s most respected independent lifestyle platforms, dedicated to championing brilliant local businesses across the country. Each year, the Muddy Stilettos Awards celebrate the very best that regional communities have to offer, spanning everything from food and drink to wellness, interiors, and beyond.
This year’s awards were bigger than ever. Nearly half a million nominations and votes were cast across 21 categories, with the campaign reaching over 11 million people nationally. To come out on top in our category, in our region, is something we are genuinely proud of.
What This Muddy Stilettos Award Means to Us
At The Bridge Inn & Ferry, we have always believed that a great local pub is about far more than just the food and drink on the menu. It is about the atmosphere you walk into, the welcome you receive, and the feeling that you belong here. Whether you are popping in for a Sunday roast with the family, catching up with friends over drinks on the terrace, or sitting by the river on a warm afternoon, we want every visit to feel special.
Winning Best-Loved Local Pub tells us that what we are doing is resonating with the people who matter most. You voted for us, and that is the greatest compliment we could ever receive.
A Thank You from Our Team
None of this would be possible without the people behind The Bridge Inn & Ferry every single day. A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated team, who bring warmth, care, and passion to everything they do.
And of course, a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote for us. If you are a regular, a first-time visitor, or someone who simply told a friend about us, you are part of this win.
