The new Heritage Award is open to all pubs on our National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, whatever their grade: Three Star, Two Star or One Star. It recognises and celebrates the achievements of a heritage pub that has been revitalised in some way.
This award is part of the effort to promote and preserve the interiors of historic pub heritage listings.
CAMRA’s very first Heritage Award winner is the Drewe Arms in Drewsteignton, Devon. Situated in front of the parish church in a picturesque Dartmoor village square, the 17th century inn has remained unchanged for 100 years. When the Grade II* listed pub closed in 2022, it was feared that the Drewe Arms would be lost forever.
The Drewsteignton Community Society formed and village locals came together to launch a fundraising campaign to re-open the pub under community ownership.
One of Devon’s oldest pubs, the Drewe Arms has an interior of outstanding national historic importance, being one of the few pubs left in the UK without a conventional bar, instead local beers are served straight from the cask, from stillage to hatch.
The runner-up in the Heritage Award was Kings Head in Bristol, which was restored by Good Chemistry Brewery. Shut since the Covid pandemic, the mid-17th century building has been restored it to its former glory by the brewery in east Bristol, displaying real care and attention to detail in an extensive but sympathetic refurbishment.
The Grade II listed pub boasts some of the oldest bar fittings in the whole of the UK, and a unique snug shaped like a tramcar, making the interior of outstanding national historic importance.
