Pub Health Index v2.0 — 163 Pubs Audited Across 7 Digital Pillars

Prepared August 2026 by PubPostPro

Complimentary Estate Audit

Executive Summary

We audited all 163 St Austell Brewery pubs across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Bristol, Dorset, Wiltshire & the Isles of Scilly using our proprietary Pub Health Index — a 100-point scoring system measuring 7 pillars of digital health using publicly available data only.

The findings are stark: not a single St Austell Brewery pub scores above 59/100. Zero pubs reach "Thriving" status.

The strongest performers — Blue Ball Inn (Exeter), Blue Ball Inn (Countisbury Hill), Bucket of Blood (Hayle) — show what's possible when individual publicans invest in digital. But these are exceptions. The estate average is 55/100, firmly in "At Risk" territory.
