Byron’s Rest is once again putting Hucknall on the ale lovers map in this Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide 2025.

Regarded as the ultimate guide to good pubs and bars across the UK, making it into its hallowed pages is seen as a major feather in any pub’s cap.

And the Baker Street pub is becoming a guide regular these days with this being the fifth year in a row it has made it in and is the only Hucknall pub among the guide’s Nottinghamshire entries.

Landlord Richard Darrington said he was proud to be in the guide again and put the pub’s continued success down to he and his staff enjoying their jobs at the venue.

"We just enjoy our jobs and we put pride into it and it makes it a bit easier when you enjoy doing what you do.

"You also feel compelled to keep doing it better and rewarding your customers.”

At the moment, the pub has its usual Black Iris on tap, which Richard describes a ‘stalwart’, along with other regular beers Magpie Best Bitter and Titanic Plum Porter.
