The top 50 gastropubs in the UK for 2021 have been compiled by the global travel site Big 7 Travel.

In its second year of existence now, the list was determined from a combined score of reader's suggestions throughout the year, online user reviews and Big 7 Travel's editorial team.

A gastropub is defined as a hybrid pub, bar and restaurant serving alcoholic food and drinks.

The list was looking out for those establishments that went above and beyond just ordinary pub grub.

It would be the sort of place patrons would come to for a Sunday roast, house-cured meats an artisan ingredients.

In the end the Sportsman in Whitstable, Kent came out on top, with the Broad Chare in Newcastle-upon-Tyne coming as runner-up.

Kent and Buckinghamshire were notable in having two gastropubs in the top ten, as the Fordwich Arms in Canterbury placed ninth for the other Kent Venue, whilst the Coach and the Hind’s Head represented Buckinghamshire.

The full list can be seen below if you fancy paying a visit.
