Branch Pub of the Year

Every year we ask our members what they regard as an outstanding Pub within the branch area. A list is then subsequently compiled and members asked to vote on the best three from this list. These Pubs are then visited and the final votes cast.

2011

Members present at the Branch Meeting in September together with postal returns were assessed to produce the three candidates for Pub of the Year. Those interested in doing so would be asked to 'score' the 3 pubs concerned on the same basis as the London Regional PotY scoring system, to arrive at a final decision on the 13th Oct. The three pubs chosen (in no particular order) were:

And after the scores were assesed the winner was The Prince of Wales. The presentation night was on Thursday 27th at the 11th Twickenham Beer & Cider Festival.
