Ye Olde Sun, St Neots - CAMRA Cambridgeshire Pub of the Year 2013
Ye Olde Sun, St Neots, has received the overall CAMRA Cambridgeshire Pub of the Year award after having been selected as the CAMRA Huntingdonshire Branch Pub of the Year in March. Ye Olde Sun came top when judged against the Pub of the Year for each of the other three Cambridgeshire branches, Cambridge, Ely and Peterborough - the Flying Pig, Cambridge; the Townhouse, Ely; and the Coalheavers Arms, Peterborough.
The judges found that Ye Olde Sun scored very highly in all of the categories: beer quality, atmosphere, service and welcome, community focus, sympathy with CAMRA's aims, and overall good value.
Ye Olde Sun has now gone forward as an entrant in the East Anglia Regional CAMRA Pub of the Year competition, and is currently being judged against the Pub of the Year from five other counties - Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Sue and Pete at Ye Olde Sun have been getting visits from judges from CAMRA branches all over East Anglia. The result of the regional competition will be announced in early August.
