The best pub in Cumbria has been crowned as part of the build-up to The National Pub & Bar Awards 2022.
Nearly 100 pubs and bars across the UK are celebrating after a selection of venues were named the best in their respective areas.
The Black Bull, Sedbergh, collected the top prize for Cumbria.
The National Pub & Bar Awards aims to put exemplary on-trade businesses across the UK in the national spotlight, showcasing the hospitality industry’s diversity, creativity and vital importance to the UK economy.
The pubs, which have been selected on overall best practice across a number of operational categories, will be officially crowned at a celebration in London in June.
At the grand final, 15 regional winners will also be announced, as well as the esteemed accolade – the overall National Pub & Bar of the Year, which was won by Galvin Green Man in Essex in 2021.
Nina Matsunaga, of the Black Bull, said: “This is a huge pat on the back for the entire team and we are all thrilled to be recognised for what we are doing both in the kitchen and in front of house. Teamwork is what it’s all about and we’ll keep quietly pushing and doing what we do and take our diners and guests on that journey with us.”
