STAFF at a city centre bar are ‘thrilled’ after achieving a national award.
TONIC on Foregate Street has achieved the Best Bar None accreditation for 2026.
Best Bar None is a nationally recognised safety standard for licensed premises.
To gain the accolade, premises must undergo an independent audit evaluating customer welfare policies, staff training standards, crowd management, emergency protocols, and responsible alcohol licensing practices.
Shane Pollard, co-owner of TONIC, said: “We are thrilled to receive our Best Bar None accreditation once again.
“It shows the commitment we have to our customers’ and staff’s safety and enjoyment by ensuring the policies we have in place meet the highest standards.”
Worcester BID has urged other businesses in the city to undertake the free assessment and join the ranks of other accredited venues.
