Britain’s highest pub set for new heights

Britain’s highest public house is set to host another ‘first’ for home improvement company Everest this month, providing the location for the launch of a new charitable initiative that will see the firm help people achieve unique and ambitious goals.

The Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales was first seen on national television in the 1980s. Its starring role in Everest’s first double glazing advert saw Ted Moult drop a feather in front of a newly installed Everest double glazed window at the inn to demonstrate the window’s impressive draught-proofing abilities – no mean feat given the exposed location of the pub, set 1,732 feet (528 metres) above sea level.

Everest returned to film another advert at the Tan Hill Inn a decade ago, when it introduced TV and radio presenter Craig Doyle as the new face of Everest. He has featured on the company’s adverts ever since. At the time, Everest upgraded the windows at the historic 17th Century inn to ensure it remains as energy efficient and cosy as possible.

Later this month, Craig Doyle and Everest will be returning to the Tan Hill Inn once again for the official launch of the Everest Lewis Golden Foundation. Named in honour of one of Everest’s founders, Lewis Golden OBE, who passed away in late 2017, the Foundation has been set up to provide financial support to help those striving to achieve their ambitions and be the best they can.
