Apologies if attention has already been drawn elsewhere on this forum to the release of the
final 16 pubs in Camra's Pub of the Year.
The Bell, Waltham St. Lawrence, Berkshire
The Kings Head, Norwich
The Horse & Jockey, Stapleford, Nottingham
The Hop Inn, Hornchurch, East London
Real Crafty, Wigan
Larkins Alehouse Cranbrook, Kent
Magazine Hotel, New Brighton, Wirral
Station House, Durham
Commercial Inn, Dunfermline
Pelican Inn, Gloucester

Mold Ale House, Mold, North Wales
Olaf’s Tun Craft Ale Bar, Woolston, Southampton
Tamworth Tap, Tamworth

For what it's worth, I've been to seven out of the 16.
The Horse & Jockey was Alan Winfield's local, and his brother told me that after his death (more than four years ago now) a wake was held for him there.
