Pub of the Season
Spring Pub of the Season Presentation
The Butchers Arms, North Kelsey
Our Spring Pub of the Season award goes to the Butchers Arms at
North Kelsey.
This traditional village local has remained more or less
unchanged since being bought and refurbished by Highwood
Brewery, in this case a positive attribute.
The pub is open plan in design, and is simply but comfortably
decorated and furnished in rustic style. Photographs of village life
adorn the walls, and a large hop bine overhangs the bar in impressive
fashion. The main bar also has a welcoming real fire for the colder
months. A games area is used for darts, and table skittles are
provided. A popular pub quiz is staged on a Tuesday evening. The
attractive outdoor drinking area is framed by a number of mature
trees, and is popular when the weather is clement.
Two real ales from the Tom Wood range are always available,
supplemented by a rotating guest beer. Occasionally a third Tom
Wood beer is added at busy times such as Christmas. The pub has
disabled access and a disabled WC is provided.
Long serving licensee Steve Cooper, seen receiving the award above,
has remained in charge for the last
13 years, and has retained the pub's commitment to convivial
surroundings and quality beers.
We would like to congratulate Steve and staff on winning this award presented on Tuesday 18 May.
