Pub of the Year archives – 1990

CAMRA’s Pub of the Year is the annual competition to find the very best local in the UK and in 1990 that was the Bell Inn in Aldworth. It would go on to repeat the success in 2019. It’s recently been named South Central Pub of the Year for 2025, so could be on course to win a historic third time.   An historic gem with the only heritage pub interior in Berkshire, its name refers to bells which were part of the landowner's coat of arms. Evidence suggests an inn existed on the site as early as 1340 and the pub has been run by the Macaulay family for 250 years.
