Once a year, Newark CAMRA awards the Pub of the Year certificate to a pub which, quite apart from serving top-quality real ale, has other notable qualities. This may be community spirit, good food, excellent ambiance, protected building or improvements to the pub.
Quality of beer is obviously the most important single factor
in nominating a pub, but others should also be taken into
consideration;
Atmosphere, service and welcome, clientele, sympathy with CAMRA
aims and value for money all come in to the equation.
Whatever the reasons, you can be assured that the current Pub of the Year will serve you a cracking pint of real ale.
If you think you know a pub in our area that deserves this title, email us with your nominations and reasons. A full list of eligible pubs can be found here.
The current Pub of the Year is the Hearty Goodfellow, Southwell.
Apparently on being told the news Steve and Alison were well chuffed, to say the least. The whole pub broke out into spontaneous applause and the messengers got a free beer – Blue Monkey I’m told and in fine form. Such are the perks of being Chairman.
The presentation was made on Saturday February 20th. Congratulations to Steve and Alison.
