Six Yorkshire restaurants have been named in the Top 50 gastropubs in the UK.

Every year since 2009, the EstrellaDamm Top 50 Gastropubs rates the best pubs and restaurants in the country.

The list is created by collecting votes from more than 100 industry professionals who are key people in the hospitality industry.

This year, six Yorkshire gastropubs have made the list aswell as a seventh which has been given a special award.

The Star Inn at Harome comes in fifth in the list this year, with The Angel at Hetton one spot behind.

The Abbey Inn in Byland, run by Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks, comes in at 13th, while a new entry for 2026 is The Highland Laddie in Leeds ranks 30th.

The Pipe and Glass in South Dalton is one spot behind,while Shibden Mill Inn in Halifax rounds off the Yorkshire interest at 49th.

It means the Durham Ox, in Crayke, misses out after being included in last year’s list.

And the good news for Tommy Banks doesn’t stop there as his latest venture, the General Tarleton in Knaresborough was awarded the ‘one to watch’ award by the judges.

It said: “Part of Tommy Banks' Jeopardy Hospitality, the pub has been led with confidence from the outset. Open only a few months at the time of judging, food already sits firmly at the heart of the business.”
