Providence Inn Crowned Best Pub in Thirsk & Malton...






8th November, 2025.


The search for the best pub in the Thirsk & Malton constituency has reached its exciting conclusion, with the Providence Inn in Yedingham taking the top spot. The Star at Harome came in a close second, while The Royal in Thirsk took third place.

The competition, launched by Kevin Hollinrake MP, to celebrate and support the vibrant local pub scene, highlighted the vital role these establishments play in the community - as social hubs, employers and cornerstones of village and town life.

Kevin Hollinrake said:

“Local pubs are great British institutions - the beating hearts of our communities and an irreplaceable part of our heritage here in North Yorkshire.

Just as many households have struggled with higher energy bills and inflation, so too have pubs, yet they continue to provide jobs, friendship, and support to those who need it most.

When pubs fail, consumers, high streets, and working people pay the price.

That’s why I’m proud to celebrate our local pubs and to continue pressing the Labour Government to ease the burdens they face. I’ll continue to back our landlords, staff and regulars ensuring our pubs and breweries don’t just survive, but thrive as community hubs."
