The brutal road to crowning our ultimate local champion starts right now 🏆

Welcome to the official Whitby Pub Knockout Championships.

We are pitting forty eight incredible venues against each other until only one undisputed heavyweight remains standing. The stakes are incredibly high and losing means instant elimination 🥊

Group One is an absolute clash of the titans. We have a massive tourist favourite taking on historic inns and community legends. The venue with the lowest score at midnight tomorrow will be knocked out of the competition forever 📉
