GREAT SPOON JUDGED TO BE GREAT BOON FOR ILFORD

The Great Spoon of Ilford (Ilford) has been voted as ‘Best Hospitality Business’ at the Ilford Business Awards 2022.

Organised by the Ilford Business Improvement District (BID), the pub scooped the award at a special awards ceremony attended by pub manager Chris Thaxter.

Chris, who has managed the pub since the summer of 2021, said: “We are thrilled to win, the first time the pub has won it, up against so many other great hospitality venues in a busy local area.

“The pub was nominated by our area manager and voted for by our loyal customers and local people. We thank them all for their support.”

The Ilford Business Awards 2022, comprising 15 categories and including businesses across the borough, were a celebration of business and community.

Formed in 2009, Ilford BID’s key aims are to promote the almost 400 businesses in the BID boundary, increase footfall and to make Ilford the destination of choice for local people and visitors.
