Gastropub of the Year
Gastropub of the Year celebrates the pubs that prove great food and a great pint don't have to be mutually exclusive. We want you to vote for the gastropub that gets the balance right, a warm, welcoming atmosphere paired with a menu that's genuinely worth travelling for.
Whether it's a Sunday roast that's become the talk of the village, a rotating menu that keeps regulars coming back, or a wine and beer list that's as considered as the food, this is your chance to recognise the pubs raising the bar.
Voted for exclusively by The Staff Canteen audience, the pub with the most votes will take the title and win one of our exclusive gold mugs at our awards ceremony in London at 83 Rivington Street, Shoreditch, hosted by The Staff Canteen on 16 November 2026!
