THE time has come for you to tell us your favourite place to pick up a pint or a glass of Prosecco.

For the past month, we have been asking our readers on social media and in print about their favourite eateries as part of the Lancashire Telegraph’s Food and Drink Awards 2016.

Readers have been nominating their favourite pub in East Lancashire and today, you can vote for the winner.

From all the nominations, a seven-strong shortlist has been created.

The shortlist includes: Three Fishes in Mitton, The Old Chapel in Darwen, Stop n Rest in Blackburn, Dog Inn at Belthorn, Postal Order in Blackburn, The Blackburn Times and The Royal in Great Harwood.

To vote check out our online poll visit: https://www.playbuzz.com/robkfp10/lancashire-telegraph-food-and-drink-awards-2016-vote-for-your-favourite-pub

You can also vote by email to robert.kelly@nqnw.co.uk, or a copy of this page can be mailed to Robert Kelly, 1 High Street, Blackburn, BB1 1HT.

The last method gives the readers’ favourite from the shortlist five votes.

Closing date for online poll and email is 5pm November 15 and November 18 for postal votes.

Don't forget to check out our Facebook page every Monday as a new category will be released which readers can then tell us their favourite. On Friday you can vote for a winner.
