About Best Bar None
Best Bar None is a national scheme that aims to award and encourage high standards in the licensed trade.
We set-up the Best Bar None scheme in partnership with the Metropolitan Police and London Fire Brigade to work with local licensed businesses to help reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder.
It is a voluntary scheme that runs every year, whereby licensed premises that meet a minimum benchmark, set to reassure customers about the safety of venue, will be rewarded.
The scheme identifies the following key areas that collectively support this objective:
- the responsible sale of alcohol
- customer safety
- exclusion of troublemakers
- no under-age drinking
- good neighbourhood relationships
- drug awareness
- staff training
Together with the statutory requirements placed on licensees under the Licensing Act 2003, these will form the basis for a benchmark of excellence.
