We’re delighted our Gosforth pub is representing the North East for a top award
A Gosforth pub is in the running for a top award.
The Three Mile, on Great North Road, in Gosforth, has been named as a national finalist in the Best Pub for Families category at The Great British Pub Awards.
The venue is hoping to see off competition from pubs as far afield as Dorset, London, and Manchester when the category winner is announced at a ceremony in September.
Owned by Malhotra Group, the Three mile has impressed judges with things like its child friendly menu and its in-house soft play centre, named The Playhouse.
The Playhouse gives children the opportunity to clamber over netting and tackle a variety of safe and structured obstacles in a variety of inter-connected zones that are always within sight of their parents or guardians.
There is also a ‘chill out area’ for children aged three and under, which is complete with bean bag seating and an assortment of child friendly tv shows and films.
The Three Mile also runs a number of family friendly events throughout the year, with the pub hosting Halloween parties, LEGO building workshops, outdoor garden games, Breakfast and Lunch with Santa, summer fayres, and more.
The pub is planning another summer fayre in aid of St Oswald’s Hospice on August 31, with a BBQ on the terrace, live music, garden games, a tombola, and more.
Alice Middleton, Group Sales and Marketing Manager at Malhotra Group, has spoken about how important it is for the venue to cater to local families.
She said: “Families are hugely important to us because Three Mile is and always has been at the heart of the Gosforth community.
“Along with our regular offers and facilities we pride ourselves on innovative special events to keep young customers entertained during school holidays, so there is always something new to see, do, eat and play with when they visit.
“We are delighted to be the only North East pub to be shortlisted in the Best Pub for Families category and will do our very best to bring the title home to the region.”
The final stages of the judging process is set to take place in the coming weeks, with an unannounced visit from the head judge for the category, followed by an interview.
The winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 24, at a ceremony, which will be held at the First District Arena, in Leeds.
