The Good Food Guide is honouring the nation’s pubs in its first 100 Best Pubs in Britain list.
In the top spot is Leeds’ Highland Laddie which was taken over by new owners, Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton, and was reopened in April 2025 after a remodel.
The couple said: “We are all absolutely over the moon to be recognised as The Good Food Guide’s No. 1 pub in Britain!
“We are even more thrilled to be flying the flag for Leeds and Yorkshire.”
Here are photos of the six Yorkshire pubs that made the list.
