2009 Hereford Pub of the Year Shortlist

Well it's that time of year again; the clocks go back tonight, Christmas is getting ever nearer and therefore time is right for our annual 'Pub of the Year' poll. 2008 saw a tied result with both The Barrels and The Hop Pole receiving 27% of the vote. 2007 saw The Hop Pole easily walk away with the title and gathering a 33% share of the votes. Our inaugural poll back in 2006 saw The Exchange take the title with 23%.

With this in mind I am proud to announce this years short-listed pubs for your perusal. If you feel that we have left out any worthy pub, or that some of the below list is not worthy then leave your comments and we'll make a final determination late in November.

The 2009 short-list is (in alphabetical order):

• The Barrels
• The Exchange
• The Grapes
• The Heart of Oak
• The Hop Pole
• The Imperial
• The King's Fee (Wetherspoons)
  
• The Lichfield Vaults
• The Litten Tree
• The Monument
• The Old Market Inn
• The Rose and Crown
• The Spread Eagle
• The Wye Inn

Don't forget to check back in December to register your vote; and the results for the '2009 Hereford Pub of the Year' will be published in early January.
