Just to clarify, Aston Marina is not in the running for Pub of the Year. They are in the Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year category.
The Borehole is in the Pub of the Year, as is The Sun in Stafford.
The Red Lion and Totally Delicious are in the Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year, Finney’s is up for Tea Room/Coffee Shop of the Year, and Essington Farm is in the Afternoon Tea of the Year and Farm Shop of the Year categories.
The Woodlands Restaurant is in the Independent Restaurant of the Year category, alongside The Moat House Acton Trussell.
Apologies for any confusion.
