BEVERLEY – Local Beverley businesses feature prominently in the 2025 Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTAs) shortlist issued recently.
The awards night will take place on 19th November at Connexin Live with more than 500 attendees expected.
Headline sponsors are Wykeland Group and Fred Marketing. Finalists span hospitality, retail and production, giving a tidy snapshot of where Beverley’s visitor offer sits right now: small, well-run independents, a couple of standout food-and-drink names and producers with a story beyond the counter.
Finalists have been confirmed across multiple categories and will be contacted directly about attendance. Beverley accounts for six businesses and nine nominations.
Junk Bar leads the town’s list with three shortlisting—Accessible & Inclusive Tourism, New Tourism Business and Pub of the Year—suggesting a venue that is doing well and widening its audience.
WILD Organic Eatery’s New Tourism Business nod shows daytime operators competing on quality and service rather than scale.
Oh My Dog’s place in the Dog Welcome category reflects a clear demand trend: pet-friendly retail now influences how visitors plan a day out.
Gemini Chocolate’s twin nominations (Regenerative Tourism and Local Producer) point to a producer combining craft with credible sustainability.
L’Opaline Bistrot appears in Taste of East Yorkshire, and the Rose & Crown returns the focus to classic pub standards with a Pub of the Year listing.

Taken together, the list reads as a practical cross-section of what visitors actually do in Beverley: eat, browse, pick up something made locally and finish the day with a drink.
Visit Hull & East Yorkshire (VHEY), the region’s accredited Local Visitor Economy Partnership, delivers the awards.
The ceremony typically brings national and trade attention that can translate into bookings, footfall and profile for shortlisted businesses.
