At the award ceremony in June, official regional winners will be crowned as well as an overall winner.

A total of 94 venues have been recognised across the UK in the annual event as the best in their respective counties.

The awards shine a spotlight on the positive and inspiring work being carried out across the UK’s hospitality industry.

The Swan is “a bustling village bar serving drinks and snacks from early in the morning until late at night. We have fires, stripped wood floors, comfy seats and bar stools.” The pub prides itself in serving “outstanding local ales and ciders” plus spirits  Dogs are welcome in the bar area and there is also a “sun-filled lounge area”.

Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine, which runs the awards, said: “We were overwhelmed by the level and quality of entries this year.”

“It just goes to show what magnificent work is going on across the UK hospitality sector. With outrageous energy costs, recruitment shortages and a punishing taxation system, these businesses are once again facing tough times.”

“Now, more than ever, it’s vital that people support their local pubs and bars. So, ahead of the long Easter weekend, why not check out the finest in your county?”
