VOTES for the Best Village/Rural Pub category closed on Sunday and we can now reveal the winner.

Following on from the St Michael's Mount Inn at Barripper, who were last month's Best Food Pub winners, we are delighted to announce that the second monthly award goes to the Golden Lion, near Stithians.

Congratulations to the team there - we will have a photo shoot and interview with them this week and it will be published in next week's edition.

Thank you to all those who voted - but here's your chance to put your favourite boozer in the frame for our third monthly award, during our Pub of the Year celebration.

This month should prove to be a popular category, with Best Town Pub up for grabs.

The winner will have perfected switching from daytime to night-time trade and the different style of service this requires.

Does it stage events in the evenings, does it change menus regularly, does it always offer a warm welcome from landlord and locals alike?

Voting closes at 5pm on Sunday, April 7, so without further ado, get voting!
