The Club of the Year competition is run in conjunction with Club Mirror magazine with the simple aim of finding the best clubs with the greatest commitment to quality real ale – those which offer a fantastic atmosphere, welcoming surroundings and most importantly, top quality real ale served in great condition.
This fantastic club has been named the best club in the UK for a second consecutive year in CAMRA’s National Club of the Year competition.
Completely renovated in 2017 to produce a light, airy, and friendly atmosphere, this Grade II listed community hub boasts six real ales generally from local microbreweries and a snooker and darts teams for its members.
