Branch Pub Of The Year 2010

The winner of the Bristol & District CAMRA branch Pub Of The Year 2010 is the Seven Stars, Thomas Lane, Redcliffe, Bristol and the runner-up is the Portcullis, Wellington Terrace, Clifton, Bristol.

The results of were announced at the Bristol Beer Festival as pictured below:

Paul Wratten (holding the Seven Stars certificate) said he was properly chuffed that the Seven Stars had won and that he puts it's popularity down to his range of 8 guest real ales. And his pickled eggs! The Seven Stars was runner-up in the branch Pub Of The Year competition last year and when the previous licensees subsequently left people had feared that the pub might lose it's real ale focus. However, Paul has clearly succeeded in taking the pub to beery new heights.

Ned Clarke (pictured with hat and Portcullis certificate) said he was delighted for the Portcullis to be recognised as runner-up Pub Of The Year.

We should also mention the Annexe Inn, Neville Road, Bishopston, Bristol as this came a very close third in the competition this year.
