We've got so many fantastic pubs in our local area, and yet they've faced some incredibly trying and uncertain times over the last two years.
So, I wanted to celebrate them and encourage as many people to show their appreciation for their local - especially as the country continues to rebuild following the pandemic, through my Pub of the Year Award. As part of the competition, there were numerous categories.
Throughout the voting, we had a number of residents take part via the awards page of my website - and the competition was strong!
However, taking first place in the Chain Pub category was the Railway Tavern. When I met the team to present them with their award, it was clear to see why the pub had been so successful in the vote - the whole team do such an amazing job to ensure it's a centre and meeting place for the local community.
Congratulations and all the best, Team Railway Tavern!
