Senedd Member Joel James has launched a competition to find South Wales Central’s best pub of 2023.
The competition promises to be a celebration of the region’s outstanding pubs, with South Wales Central covering Rhondda Cynon Taf, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
The award of South Wales Central’s Best Pub will be awarded to an overall winner voted for by residents, with a further selection of pubs selected as area winners.
Area winners, voted by residents, will follow Welsh Parliamentary constituencies of Pontypridd, Rhondda, Cynon Valley, Cardiff West, Cardiff North, Cardiff Central, Cardiff South and Penarth and the Vale of Glamorgan to acknowledge the wide variety of businesses across the region.
The pub which receives the most nominations will be awarded Joel James MS’ Best Pub Award 2023.
Speaking about the award, Joel said:
The Christmas and New Year period is often the busiest time of the year for pubs, but sadly we're losing at least two a day - and once they're gone, they're gone.
With this in mind, and to support our pubs and to highlight the great community work that they do, I've decided to launch my very own 'Best Pub' award.
It's only a little bit of fun, but it's a great way to highlight a fantastic pub that needs highlighting. I’m keen to know what everyone’s favourite pub of 2023 is and look forward to reading all the entries.
