A village pub in Wiltshire has earned national recognition by making it to the finals of a prestigious food awards.
The Poplars in Wingfield, on the outskirts of Trowbridge, has been named a finalist in the Food Awards England 2025 for the second consecutive year.
The venue, which has both a restaurant and a bar area, is up for Restaurant of the Year (South and East) after finishing as a finalist in the same category in 2024.
The awards, which are run by Creative Oceanic, are based on public votes as well as recognition from industry experts.
In a message on social media earlier this summer, The Poplars thanked customers after being nominated for multiple awards in recent years.
