After the previous long term tenants left the Hurst, the pub had a number of short term proprietors who kept it ticking over, but it was when Adrian and Annabel took over that things started to happen, as they built the pub up again and it now sells five Harvey’s ales, all to a high standard. This is the first brewery tied pub to be voted our LocAle Pub of the Year; Peter Adams visited the outside of the pub to present the award to Adrian while the beer was settling in the cellar for the post lockdown reopening.
