A gastropub in Salisbury has been named among the best 100 gastropubs in the UK according to the Estrella Damm 2023 list.

Compasses Inn was listed in 78th place as part of the 51-100 section of the list.

The Estrella Damm Gastropub Awards is created each year by an academy of several hundred judges spread throughout the UK who voted for who they think are the must-see gastropubs.

The academy is made up of food industry experts, chefs, operators, food writers, and journalists, all of whom keep a close eye on the market and the trends within.

The 51-100 section has been revealed day-by-day on the social media of Top 50 Gastropubs ahead of the release of the Top 50 on Monday, January 23.
