Speaking after the online nominations for The Press ‘Best Pub’ opened, Nigel Burton, regional editor for Newsquest North, highlighted the importance of recognising local pubs.

He said: "York is a city renowned for its pubs – something that makes picking a favourite that much harder! That’s why The Press is delighted to launch this competition so we can recognise the best of the best.

"We’ll be bringing you updates on the pubs in our competition, so keep an eye out and see if your local is featured."

Votes will be collated next week with the winner and the official ‘Best Pub 2024’ (according to readers of The Press) scheduled to be announced the week of August 12.
