Is your favourite pub the best in Greater Manchester? Tell us why you love your local

There’s no doubt that January is always a tough month for pubs - and more so than ever this year.

With Christmas and New Year celebrations firmly behind us, many people will be banishing booze as they attempt Dry January, or simply cutting back on trips to pubs, bars and restaurants. And this year, landlords are also battling soaring winter bills amid the cost of living crisis that’s crippling their custom too.

That’s why this January, we’re launching the Love Your Local awards, to show our support for Greater Manchester’s brilliant boozers. While Manchester has changed a lot over the years, there’s still plenty of great pubs across the area from canalside drinking spots to city centre watering holes.

In the spirit of supporting Manchester’s public houses, we’re asking readers to nominate their favourite local pub and tell us what makes it so special for the chance to be crowned the best in Greater Manchester.

There’s plenty of reasons why we hold them so close to our hearts, after all, they're not just pubs but places where communities come together. Maybe it’s a landlord or landlady with a heart of gold, or bar staff who go above and beyond to ensure every visit special.

It could serve the best Sunday roasts around, or have a fantastic play area for kids - or perhaps it quite simply pulls the best pints around.

Whatever the reason, let us know why you love your local by filling out the form below. A shortlist of ten nominees will then be drawn up and put to a public vote to decide the overall winner in the coming weeks.

The awards are open to entries from both staff and customers and the closing date for nominations is Monday, January 23.
