Pub of the year competition

Last Year's Winners

Community Pub Winner 2011

Coldham Hall tavern at Surlingham scooped the top award from the Community Pub of the Year scheme in 2011/12.

When George and Natalie took on Coldham Hall in 2009 it was a failing pub, with shabby decor and a dwindling clientele. But they quickly turned it around and now the pub is thriving.
