The pub has faced some stiff competition
The Campaign for Real Ale has announced the top 16 pubs in the country following a year of "rigorous judging" in its National Pub of the Year competition. Covering the entire UK, the regional finalists battled it out with thousands of pubs across the country to be crowned the winner in their area.
The Turks Head on Cooper Street in St Helens took the top spot for the North West and has been described as a "attractive Tudor style pub". The pub will now go forward to the grand final for the National Pub of the Year 2023 crown.Speaking about the pub The Campaign for Real Ale said: "Attractive Tudor-style 1870s pub near the town centre. Real ales and real ciders are on 14-hand pulls, and there is a large whisky and gin selection.
"The upstairs Tower Lounge serves cocktails plus craft and continental beers and hosts live music on Saturday evening. There is a large beer garden to the side and rear with an outside bar and wood-fired pizza oven." Andrea Briers, National Coordinator for the Pub of the Year competition says: “I am delighted to announce this year’s final 16 pubs. I would like to congratulate each and every one of them for their hard work against a difficult backdrop for the trade with increasing energy costs, business rates, and the cost-of-living crisis impacting people visiting pubs.
“There are thousands of amazing pubs across the country and I would encourage everyone to visit their local and seek out others where they live. Not only will that support local businesses, but pubs play a vital part in communities which we want to both protect, promote, and see them thrive.
