The winner of the Bristol & District CAMRA
branch Pub of the Year 2011 is the Seven Stars in Thomas Lane, Redcliffe,
and the runner-up is the Annexe Inn in Bishopston. The
results of were announced at the 2011 Bristol Beer Festival on 18th March,
though the official presentations were not made until May.
This is a back-to-back win for Paul Wratten of the Seven Stars as the pub was also branch Pub of the Year in 2010 – no small achievement. The Seven Stars is a pub that is clearly focused on the beer above all else. A tired and emotional Paul Wratten – pictured below receiving the certificate from branch chairman Richard Brooks and surrounded by members of the branch – said at the presentation that he was very happy to have won Bristol & District CAMRA Pub of the Year award again and that his vision for the future of the Seven Stars was: "Roll on more good beer, I just want to keep it going."
Congratulations also go to the Annexe, which after narrowly missing out on a certificate last year has secured itself the branch runner-up position for 2011. The picture below shows Adrian Bacon (Manager and Cellarman of the Annexe Inn) receiving the Bristol & District CAMRA Pub of the Year runner-up certificate from branch chairman Richard Brooks, supported by local CAMRA members. Adrian has recently taken over from John Woto who was managing the Annexe at the time of the competition.
