About the awards
The Great British Pub Awards brings together the UK’s leading and most popular pubs that enter to win one of the highly coveted awards.
Pubs are invited to enter before they are shortlisted, visited by a judge and finally interviewed before the final winners are revealed.
This year the awards announced a finalist line-up of 97 pubs entered to win across 18 different award categories from Best Pub for Dogs to Best Pub Garden.
This year’s awards saw a “record number” of entries from across the UK before the list of finalists were revealed.
