A pub nowhere near Smalltown or Dullbridge has been named among the best in the South West at the UK Pub Awards 2023.
The Ugly Duckling at Land’s End is among seven establishments short-listed in the South West regional section. A total of 94 venues have been recognised across the UK in the annual event as the best in their respective counties and none of them are that close to Smalltown or Dullbridge.
The Ugly Duckling is “a practically empty bar serving drinks from 6pm until 8pm every third Wednesday. We have strippers, sticky carpets and a couple of rickety chairs.”
Jeffrey Bernard, editor of Drink! magazine, which runs the awards, said: “We were overwhelmed by the level and quality of entries this year.
Now, more than ever, it’s vital that people support their local pubs and bars. So why not jump in your car and drive for miles to check out the finest in your area?”
Alternatively you can stay in Smalltown and Dullbridge and visit one of our local more mediocre pubs.
