It is difficult to express how humbled we are to have won Gold Pub of the Year 2026 at the Visit England Awards for Excellence that took place on 10th June. Achieving Gold Pub of the Year for North East England earlier in the year was high praise indeed and acknowledged our contribution to our rural community and economy that is so important and vital to us. To win this national award in tourism is quite incredible – the competition is tremendous and we would like to congratulate the other gold, silver and bronze winners across all categories; please click here to see who they are.
As always we would like to thank you, our wonderful customers who have been critical to our journey. Huge thanks to Visit England for recognising The Kirkstyle and all the hard work, love and dedication that is continually invested in her.
