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.
He said: “The key is not getting in the guide but staying in it, that’s the achievement and to that end, being in now for the fifth year running is of course something I’m very proud of and I want to make it six next year.
“Whatever we’re doing, CAMRA love it and long may it last.

"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.
