Always the most hotly contested category in our awards, and this year we actually had around 94 DIFFERENT pubs and bars nominated. The top 8 though proved to be the most popular and the Blue Ball Inn out in Worrall have taken the 2022 crown with 19.5% of the vote – that is how close this category was this year!
If youโve visited this village pub, you probably know why it is supported by local dog owners. The face of the pub (quite literally) is Archie the Vizsla who has his face on the sign outside and often makes an appearance on their social channels. Reviewers often rave about the Blue Ballโs atmosphere and fantastic food, so itโs well worth a visit next time youโre in the area.ย
We caught up with the winners who had this to say:ย “Thank you to everyone who voted for our pub, we are overwhelmed – itโs Pawsome! Dogs have been keeping the pub floor warm since 1825 and long may that continue, with fresh water, cuddles and treats available daily!”
Special Mention: The Northern Monkey (Hillsborough) and the Dog & Partridge (Sheffield City Centre)
