It’s doesn’t seem like 12 months ago when we announced Cask as our Pub of the Year 2018 but in that time, we have changed our pub of the year nomination process. This time the top ten scoring pubs in What Pub formed a list from which members nominated their favourite pub to go forward to the judging process. Sadly, yet again we had very few nominations from branch members something we hope to improve on next year. We then asked for volunteers to judge the top five pubs, the response to this part of the process was good and 12 people put their names forward, of which 4 of them where female. In accordance with CAMRA guidelines judges were asked to visit each pub on the list twice, at different times of the day. Anonymised details of the scores submitted by each judge can be found on our website.
As a result of this process we are pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s competition is:-
Peter Kavanaghs
Congratulations to Rita and everyone at the pub.
