The awards celebrate rural businesses which ‘go that extra mile, support their local economy and are unsung heroes in the community’.
The Marton Arms is a finalist in the pub category, alongside The Tennants Arms in Kilnsey, Exelby Green Dragon in Bedale and Blue Bell Inn in Northallerton.
Located in the picturesque hamlet of Thornton in Lonsdale, just outside Ingleton, The Marton Arms is everything a country inn should be; welcoming, family friendly, dog loving and serving great value, delicious food.
Heather Dawson, landlady of The Tennants Arms, said: “This nomination is very welcome and we’re delighted that the hard work of our staff has been recognised.
“We love being a part of our community and hold regular events including live music which are always popular. We also have a lot of visitors to the area, including walkers, campers, cyclists and fine diners – and helping them find the best spots in the Dales to visit is always something we enjoy.
“We try to support our community as much as possible, and one way we’ve done that is by adopting a ‘field to fork’ ethos, with most of our meat reared locally in the foothills of Ingleborough.”
Judging for the awards, which are sponsored by Howdens, will take place in April, and the winners will be announced in May.
