The Pinnacle Guide, often described as the Michelin Guide of the drinks world, celebrates outstanding bars for their quality, consistency, sustainability, and service. Achieving a star involves a rigorous process, including mystery reviews and a detailed assessment of each venue’s ethos and operational excellence. Owner Jamie said, “We’re absolutely thrilled to receive a Pinnacle Guide Star. It’s a reflection of our team’s dedication to quality, creativity, and the customer experience. From day one, our ethos has centred on exceptional service, sustainability, and serving drinks we’re truly proud of.” Founded in 2016, Tom Thumb began as a vision inspired by international travels and a desire to bring something unique to Newquay’s nightlife. Since becoming the sole owner in 2020, Jamie has evolved the bar into one of Cornwall’s most respected cocktail destinations, specialising in craft cocktails, house-made ingredients, and sustainable practices. At Tom Thumb, everything from the syrups and infusions to the ice is crafted in-house. The team uses innovative culinary techniques such as fermentation, clarification, and self-carbonation, creating drinks that are both inventive and environmentally conscious. This commitment also earned the venue recognition as one of the Top 3 Most Sustainable Bars in the UK by Top 50 Cocktail Bars. “We see ourselves as part of the community, not just a business in it,” Jamie added. “This recognition isn’t just for us — it’s for Newquay’s growing, diverse, and vibrant hospitality scene.” Tom Thumb continues to set the bar high for hospitality in Cornwall, and this award marks another exciting milestone in their journey. tom-thumb.co.uk EDITOR’S CHOICE Sorrell Jewels, a Devon-born curated vintage jewellery brand, offers something old and something blue for weddings.
