PUB OF THE YEAR 2016: The votes have been counted - now our top 10 finalists are revealed

We need you to pick your overall winner.

We find many qualities in a great pub: individuality and character, welcoming ambience, good beer, wine and food.

And not forgetting the decor, seating, lighting, nice nibbles, clean loos and so on. But ultimately, of course, it’s the people, staff and regulars, who make a pub great.

Well here are your chosen top 10 pubs of the year. The fate of the finalists is in your hands.

To vote from the list, simply return the coupon on this page to us, stating the full name and address of the pub you wish to nominate.

Closing date for nominations is 10am on Friday, November 25, 2016.

Please be aware photocopied or defaced coupons will not be accepted. Hand-delivered coupons to the office or coupons received after the closing date will also not be accepted.
