Our number one pub for 2025 is the Highland Laddie in Leeds: a storied 100-year-old boozer delivered into a glorious new era by Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton when they reopened it earlier this year. The inviting warmth of a proper local and unforgettably good cooking are delivered with impeccable balance.
