A small family-run pub has been hailed the best pub in Yorkshire by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Three B’s in Marshall Avenue, Bridlington has been named one of the best pubs in the UK and won the Yorkshire title in CAMRA's prestigious Pub of the Year competition.

Run by a husband-and-wife team who are passionate about beer and cider, the popular micropub has been described as "Bridlington's Real Ale Destination" and has a rotation of four cask beers usually from Yorkshire microbreweries. The pub aims to never sell the same beer twice, making for an exciting range of everchanging beers at the bar.

It was also a Society of Independent Brewers’ (SIBA) UK’s Best City Independent Craft Beer Pub or Bar finalist in 2021. Also, a National Cider Pub of the Year finalist in 2023 and at least 10 ciders of varying styles and strengths are served from local suppliers.

When Hull Live visited Three B's earlier this year we were impressed by a "refreshing" pale ale called Bullet Tooth Tony from Wilde Child Brewing Company. We also enjoyed a homemade sausage roll some rather eclectic ciders, with our reporter particularly loving the Cherry Burst Cider from Barbourne Cider Co.

A total of 17 fantastic pubs have battled it out with thousands of pubs across the UK to be crowned the winner in their area. For the first time a Northern Ireland winner has been crowned this year, having previously been part of a joint Scotland and Northern Ireland Pub of the Year competition.

Pubs in the competition are scored on their atmosphere, decor, welcome, service, inclusivity, overall impression but most importantly – the quality of live beer, real cider and perry.

Three B’s will now compete with national finalists for the UK National Pub of the Year award with judges whittling the 17 pubs down to just four in late September. Last year’s UK National Pub of the Year winner was the Tamworth Tap in Staffordshire, which won the crown consecutively in both 2023 and 2022.

The recognition of pubs and their place in our communities has never been more important, as the announcement of the top 17 pubs comes hot on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the demolition of the iconic Crooked House in Himley, Staffordshire.

CAMRA continues to fight for stronger planning protections, marking the anniversary by calling on the new UK Government to introduce tougher planning enforcement options for local councils to deter unscrupulous developers.

Andrea Briers, National Coordinator for the Pub of the Year competition says: "These amazing pubs really are the crème de la crème and I would encourage the public to seek out the 17 winners from across the nations and regions of the UK – they are top-tier pubs serving excellent beer, cider and perry, run by welcoming, hardworking staff.

"It’s also important to support your local all year round. With constant pressure from stubbornly high energy prices, fluctuating running costs and grossly unfair business rates threatening to drown pubs across the UK, it’s vital to get out and support the licensed trade."
