About Best Bar None
2008 saw Carlisle & Eden Crime and Disorder Reduction
Partnership (CDRP) adopt the exciting Best Bar None awards scheme.
The UK-wide scheme, which is backed by the Home Office and British
Institute of Innkeeping (BII) started as part of the ‘City Safe’
scheme in Manchester in 2003 and has since been adopted by over one
hundred other Towns and Cities with great success.
Best Bar None is aimed at promoting responsible management and
operation of alcohol-licensed premises with the ultimate intention
of offering and maintaining a safer, more welcoming, attractive and
lively drinking experience.
Best Bar None rewards licensees who provide good management, a
safe and enjoyable environment for customers, discourage binge
drinking and prevent alcohol-related crime. It encourages licensees
to act responsibly and take pride in their premises and
surroundings and, in doing so, put something back into the their
town / city and local community. The rewards for licensees include,
the prestige of being part of the awards scheme, increased business
within the area and lower insurance premiums resulting from the
fact that they are running safer establishments.
The biggest winners in Best Bar None are the visitors to
Carlisle & Eden, who are able to reap the rewards of a City and
Town Centre that are more welcoming, attractive, lively and above
all safe. In 2008 the scheme was aimed at the City centre venues in
Carlisle and the Town centre venues in Penrith. In 2009 the scheme
was extended to include all of Carlisle and Appleby. 2010 saw the
scheme reach Brampton and the Eden rural area.
