Reckon your local is the best boozer in the country? Of course you do! Well, you’re in luck because the annual quest to find the UK’s top spot is on with the return of the National Pub & Bar Awards.

The competition will see winners crowned at a dazzling red carpet celebration at BAFTA on Wednesday 23 May 2018. Accolades will be handed to winners from each of the 94 counties, as well as 15 regional winners and one overall national winner during the ceremony.

The awards are open to all pubs and bars throughout the UK and can be entered by proud publicans or nominated by loyal customers. A win offers priceless national exposure to winners – not to mention bragging rights and a cracking night out.

Last year The Botanist in Sheffield took the top prize, with Chris Hill, CEO of The New World Trading Company, commenting,  “The 2017 National Pub & Bar Awards was a surreal and incredible evening, the impact of this accolade cannot be overstated. Now over a year old, The Botanist continues to go from strength to strength, helped in no small part that the staff, and customers, know it is the best pub in the UK!

So, if you reckon yours is the best bar none (boom boom!) you can find out more details and enter via the Pub & Bar website. The closing date for entries is Friday 16 March 2018.
