It's cheers all round as three North East pubs celebrate success at UK awards which will now see them take part in the grand finals in London.
The National Pub & Bar Awards have announced 94 venues across Britain as county winners and among them are three in the region which are now in for a chance of even greater recognition when the awards body ups the ante this summer. The local successes are Three Mile in Newcastle; The Crown Inn at Humshaugh in Northumberland - which called Wednesday's announcement 'a great way to start Easter' - and The Bay Horse in County Durham, with the good news coming despite ongoing struggles during the cost of living crisis and just in time for the Easter weekend trade.
The annual awards are out to highlight the positive and inspiring work being carried out across the UK’s hospitality industry and the 94 chosen pubs and bars have been judged as the best in their respective counties. When the annual ceremony takes place in London on June 28, the county winners will discover which among them will take home one of the 15 regional titles and which will win the overall National Pub & Bar of the Year accolade, naming it the UK’s best.
