The Stable Games Room shortlisted for award

The pub has been shortlisted for the Community Pub Hero Awards 2025.

Weston-super-Mare’s The Stable Games Room has been shortlisted for the Community Pub Hero Awards 2025.

Organised by PubAid in partnership with the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group and supported by Matthew Clark, the awards celebrate pubs that go the extra mile to support their communities.

As Weston-super-Mare’s first board game pub, The Stable Games Room charges no table hire, ensuring accessibility for everyone. The venue is also home to a variety of community events, including gaming clubs and tournaments, social groups, mental health and wellbeing initiatives, educational and creative workshops and community warm space sessions. 

The venue is part of The Stable, a not-for-profit community interest company that reinvests profits into social impact projects, such as Stable Foundations, which provides training and employment opportunities for individuals facing barriers to work. The pub also works closely with local charities, social enterprises and grassroots initiatives.

Pub founder Jemma Coles comments: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted for the Community Pub Hero Awards! The Stable Games Room is not just a pub – it’s a space where people connect, learn, and feel at home. Our team works hard to create an environment that’s welcoming to everyone, and it’s fantastic to see that recognised on a national level.”

Winners of the Community Pub Hero Awards 2025 will be announced at a special event in Parliament later this year.
