A pub in Mellor has been named as a finalist in the Tourism Pub of the Year category of the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.
The Millstone now goes forward to the awards ceremony on May 20 at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club. All finalists are guaranteed to receive either a gold, silver, bronze or highly commended award.
James Berresford, VisitEngland’s chief executive, said: “We received 320 applications and the quality of submissions was higher than ever.
“It is therefore no small achievement for The Millstone to become a finalist and justifiably take credit and pride in earning a coveted place in the top five in their category in England.”
Sorcha Drake, operations director for Thwaites Inns of Character, which owns the pub, said:“The Millstone was out inspiration to grow the Thwaites Inns of Character, and this recognition is confirmation that we’re offering something that appeals to our guests and have a winning recipe to build on.”
