The public house is one of our great national institutions. They each provide an important social facility and meeting place for local communities and, with the increase in quality food venues in recent years, many have developed reputations that attract visitors from far and wide. For foreign tourists the English pub, with its quaint traditions and customs is always a delight and is the quintessential icon of British hospitality. There is no shortage of wonderful pubs in Yorkshire. Whether you're looking for buzzing city centre venues, relaxing cosy locals, architectural gems, scenic wonders, ghostly apparitions or award-winning menus, God's Own County has them all. Local economies benefit, on average, £80,000 per annum from each and every pub in their areas. Charities and good causes receive £120 million a year from pub activities across the land and two out of every three people in Yorkshire will first meet their long term partner in a licensed venue. Many pubs provide great live music venues and have launched the careers of talented musicians for generations. With the huge variety of venues around, there is something for everyone. Cherish your pub - support your local... |
