The Wakefield back garden pub vying for the title of Britain's Pub Shed of the Year 2026

This amazing backyard boozer is battling it out to be named Britain's Pub Shed of the Year 2026.

The DIY man cave was created by Adam Cockroft, who built The Mucky Pub after moving into his new home two years ago.

Decorated like a traditional pub, it also boasts and incredible games room with a pool table, air hockey, table tennis, shuffleboard, table football and arcade machines.

"The main buying point of the house was the outbuildings that were at the bottom of the garden,” Adam said.

"The buildings were a solid blockwork construction so a great starting point for the conversions.”

To the bar, a new floor, a metal stud inner leaf, new windows, a log burner and handmade bar were added.

“We opted for a traditional pub theme and bought all the furniture second hand,” Adam said.

"When our kids were young if we were ever going out for a drink we’d always say we were off to ‘The Mucky Pub’, so that name stuck.

”We opened in May 2025 and we’ve had some fantastic evenings with friends and family or even quiet nights on our own.”

The annual competition is run by Twofatblokes.co.uk and winners get £500 worth of prizes.

It is believed more than two million back garden pubs are now in operation in Britain after their popularity exploded during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Pub Shed of The Year 2026 winner will be announced live on Ngageradio.co.uk next month.
