Yorkshire Pubs Top UK Tourist Attraction

The Publican reports that the British Beer & Pub Association calls for pubs that bring tourists to the county to step forward

Pubs in Yorkshire are being urged to enter an awards ceremony for top tourist attractions in the area.

The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) is sponsoring the Pub of the Year category in the White Rose Awards, which is looking for the pub that best represents the county.

Lee Le Clercq, the BBPA's regional secretary for the North, said: “There’s no shortage of wonderful pubs in Yorkshire. Whether you’re looking for buzzing city centre venues, relaxing cosy locals, architectural gems, scenic wonders, ghostly apparitions or award-winning menus, God's Own County has them all. But if you don't enter, you can't be a winner.”

Last year the title was won by Ashley and Kelly McCarthy of Ye Old Sun Inn at Colton.

The pair recently celebrated even more success when they were named Publicans of the Year at the Publican Awards.
