While many often ask the Dublin-born publican the secret behind his perfect pint of Guinness, he claims there's a number of ingredients and factors at play. "There isn’t one. You just have to be consistently consistent", says Pádraig.
"There’s five or six things you have to do to keep it consistent. We are also fortunate to have a great team of staff led by Peter and Matt who are very aware that you can lose your reputation over a bad pint.
"Our pints are good not just 99% of the time, but 101% of the time. And it’s got to be consistent from the keg to the customer.
“We are not reinventing the wheel. But I do serve the pints in a tulip glass, and I bring them over from Ireland. It’s about a clean glass and clean lines as well."
The other pubs to make the list are The Banbury Cross in Oxford,The Devonshire in London, The Railway Hotel in Scotland, The New Albany Pub in Coventry, The Black Horse, in London, The Dog & Partridge in Sheffield, The Al Bear in North Tyneside, The Bulls Head in Loughborough and Kitty O’Hanlons in Plymouth.
