In a bid to celebrate pubs in North and West Cumbria, the News & Star has launched its new competition which will crown the area's 'Best Pub 2025'.
Whether it's the perfect pint, unbeatable atmosphere or legendary Sunday roast, we want to hear from you.
As part of the competition, News & Star readers can now nominate their go-to drinking spots from North and West Cumbria via an online voting platform.
NOMINATE YOUR FAVOURITE PUB HERE.
Online nominations will run until Sunday, July 13, with the ten finalists being revealed on Monday, July 14.
Readers will then be able to vote for the county's 'Best Pub 2025' by picking up editions of the News & Star between Monday, July 21, and Saturday, August 2.
The ultimate local legend is set to be announced on Monday, August 11.
Joy Yates, regional editor for Newsquest Cumbria, asked readers to support their favourite.
Joy said: 'Pubs are hubs of activity. We love a visit for many reasons, to relax or meet friends and family, for lovely food or just a quick drink after work. Most of us have a favourite local or a pub we go to for entertainment.
'We are now asking our readers to tell us about their favourite bar and nominate them for an opportunity of recognition in our Best Pub promotion. Show them you recognise their efforts and appreciate the service they provide so nominate them right now.'
You can nominate your favourite pub online here:
