If there's one thing us Brits are proud of, it's our vast selection of pubs (how could we not be?).
You know the Oscars? Well, the Great British Pub Awards took place on 19th September and it's basically the same thing but instead of giving out gongs for actors, they give them out for really really great pubs. There were categories for all sorts in this year's ceremony, from the Best Pub For Dogs to Best Pub to Watch Sport and Best Community Hero to Best Pub Garden.
The shortlists for all categories were nothing short of spectacular and they covered the length and breath of the country, but although they're all winners in our eyes, only one takes home the glory (and a shiny trophy). If you fancy booking some award-winning pubs over the next however long, here are some to keep an eye on.
Best City/Urban Pub: Turk's Head, Twickenham, Greater London
Best Pub for Dogs: The Bellflower, Garstang, Lancashire
Best Pub for Food: The Loch & The Tyne, Old Windsor, Berkshire
