WITH lockdown restrictions easing and many pubs across Bradford re-opening their outdoor areas on Monday, the Telegraph and Argus is launching its Best Pub competition.

"This competition gives readers a chance to nominate their favourite pub or multiple pubs," said T&A marketing executive Lauren Wood.

With many pubs re-opening on Monday, Lauren said: "It's an exciting time and a big chance for everyone to get out and socialise again.

Even though it has been cold this week, Lauren does not think the weather will stop people who want to go out and visit their local.

She said: "People will wrap regardless of the weather to support their local."

The competition is open to all pubs within Bradford and surrounding areas, and they can be nominated via this link: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WG7TVQ8

The closing date is Thursday, April 15, and the top 20 will be published on a voting coupon in the T&A on April 22 and 23.

The winner will receive an engraved trophy and will feature in the T&A.
