The Branch surprised Adrian and Andrea in late July when the Branch Chair had told them that he would appear to present the Pub of the Year Runners Up award one Tuesday evening. In the event they found their front bar full of CAMRA members, having expected just one person. A warm welcome on a warm summer evening found the beer in the good form, Harvey’s Dark Mild and Tom Paine proving particular popular, scoring Very Good and often better on the NBSS system. At the presentation we heard how Adrian and Andrea have revitalised the pub during their tenure, after the pub had been in the hands of a succession of temporary managers, usually selling just one beer, it now sells five in good form.
