On a balmy late August evening, branch members assembled in the garden of the Bull’s Head to present a certificate to landlord Mike, marking ten consecutive years in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide. Branch Chair Peter praised the rescue job which Mike has done since he arrived at the pub, after the two previous proprietors had failed to make a go of the business. In particular how he had managed to make it a destination for the locals, obviously the case when one hears the conversation in the bar, and also a popular place to stop off for visitors, including those who choose to stay on the pub’s own campsite. Most importantly in the context of the GBG, the beer standard is excellent and consistent, with four active handpumps being more than we might expect in a pub in such a small village. Mike replied that involving the community in the pub was the key to what he had done, introducing various community events which have been well supported, and that visitors to the camp site regularly used the pub for food and drink.
