A description in 2002 noted that the Annexe was a busy town centre pub, a haunt of the business fraternity. Strong rugby following. Good home-made food.'
The Annexe was opened in 1957 by Cyril Bailey and remained in the same family. Helen Bailey, Cyril’s daughter, was running the pub and was co-owner in 2009 when it had a makeover. The Annexe Inn has also been run by Helen’s mother, brother Jeff, as well as partners John Belcher and Jackie Colwell.
The refurbishment started in 2006 when the bar and restaurant was re-designed, followed by the function room which was used for private functions like parties and weddings. The new frontage in 2009 was partly funded by Forest of Dean District Council regeneration fund enabling the exterior to be re-rendered, the installation of new windows, signage and lighting. The pub was re-launched as the Annexe Venue.
The left-hand side of the building housed Joshua’s Steak House in 2012; and then Amigos Mexican Grill Bar. The premises is now Italian Restaurant, but it is still licensed.
The Champion Beer of Britain is one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.
Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and tasting panel nominations, leading to a series of rigorous regional heats adhering to a strict blind tasting policy.
