The Harrogate Inn named best pub in Yorkshire

Wednesday, 10 April 2024 10:20

The Harrogate Inn has been named the best pub in Yorkshire.

The hotel on Ripon Road was named the best in the region at the National Pub & Bar Awards 2024 – one of 94 locations across the UK to have scooped a prestigious County Winner title.

Following a multi-million pound refurbishment, The Harrogate Inn reopened in July last year. And as part of the renovations, the hotel opened its on-site pub Barking George.

The award winners are selected based on factors that affect the “customer journey” including design, service, style of offer, marketing and investment.

And the Harrogate Inn, which has proven a hotspot for revellers, will now attend a national final on 26th June 2024.

Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine, said: “The fact that we had record entries for the 2024 National Pub & Bar Awards tells us two things.

“One is how highly the industry regards these accolades, which is fantastic. But, also, it shows that more operators are in need of really positive and strong publicity to help drive business at the moment.

“Pubs and bars are facing some of the biggest challenges in recent history, so if the National Pub & Bar Awards can help by lifting sales across these venues, then we’re delighted to play our part.”
