This pub is beautiful!

The country pub closed at the end of September to undergo a refurbishment, which has now been completed. 😍

🗣️ “We’re delighted with the results of the refresh.... Our ambition is to return the pub to its former glory and position it as the number one destination in Staffordshire once again.”

The Owl in Loughton 😍

The pictures tell the story here! 📸

🍍 Sanjeev Guram is the new Management Partner: "The Owl has been part of life in Epping Forest since 1776, and it's a privilege to be looking after it. It's one of the most beautiful pub settings in Essex, and my aim is simple: to make it the first-place people think of for food, drink and celebration!"

🍻 History, quality and community spirit all under one roof.

A huge congratulations to The Sportsman Inn in Carlisle on being crowned City Pub of the Year by Solway CAMRA.

For centuries, The Sportsman has been at the heart of Carlisle's pub scene, and today it continues to set the standard. From perfectly kept cask ales and delicious home-cooked food to the warm welcome that greets every customer, the team consistently delivers the kind of experience that keeps people coming back.

Its reputation speaks for itself. Alongside previous honours such as Winter Pub of the Season, The Sportsman has earned regular recognition in the CAMRA Good B**r Guide and remains one of the city's most loved traditional pubs.

This latest award celebrates the passion, hard work and dedication of the entire team, who continue to preserve the pub's rich heritage while making it a thriving destination for b**r lovers and the local community alike.

👏 Congratulations to our Publican, Amanda Picken, and everyone at The Sportsman Inn on another fantastic achievement.
