The list of 94 pubs located across the UK features four Yorkshire watering holes:

• The Old Star - East Riding of Yorkshire: A country pub that boasts log burners and open fires for those chilly days and locally sourced produce for their family friendly menu.

• The Punch Bowl - North Yorkshire: A village pub offering classic Sunday roasts, gluten free options and a garden that's perfect for sunny afternoons.

• The Botanist - Sheffield: A unique menu of flavours accompanied by an impressive range of cocktails, beers and ales.

• North Bar - Leeds: A bountiful beer selection from all over the world, along with a chilled out vibe.

The shortlisted venues will compete for the best overall pub in the UK and hoping to pick up the award for a second time is last year's winner The Botanist, Sheffield.

Hopefuls will head along to a glitzy red carpet celebration on May 23 when the winner of best UK pub will be revealed.

Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine, which runs the awards, said: “This positive, industry-boosting news comes at a time when closures of pubs and bars are too often focused on in the press.
