NATIONAL CAMRA CLUB OF THE YEAR 2019 National Club of the Year 2008 National Finalist 2010/2015/2017/2018 The bar at the Village Hall has been run under licence, free form tie, by Derek & Alison Massey since July 2004, and is now managed by their son, Chris Massey. The bar was originally set up by the Village Hall committee, but due to the Hall’s charitable status, is now run separately with a rent payable. It still operates as a members bar although visitors are welcome for a nominal fee and a visitors book exists for this purpose. When originally opened, the bar was tied to John Smith’s Brewery but quickly became free from tie and was amongst the first outlets in the area to stock real ale. We now regularly feature in the CAMRA Club of the Year contest and are awarded for the condition of the seven ever-changing real ales on offer. We currently hold the title for the Local and Regional CAMRA Club of the Year, and are in the final 4 for the whole country. The Village Hall offers a warm welcome to members in the cosy lounge or more spacious hall, and as well as our excellent real ales, we also have a well stocked bar offering an excellent range of beers, wines and spirits and in particular, Gin!
