Award double for Five Bells





It has been named Pub of the Year 2014 by the West Berkshire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). and, in addition, has clinched the branch’s Cider Pub of the Year 2014 nomination.
The annual awards seek out the best pubs in West Berkshire, and 2014 is the inaugural award of Cider Pub of the year.
The grass roots awards are also part of a CAMRA initiative to find the best nationwide pub in their respective categories. The Five Bells now goes forward to the Central Southern Region stage of this process.
The pub, currently featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2014, offers a range of nine real ales and eight real ciders on draught. This free house pub even boasts its own brewery, soon to be in commercial production.
Licensee Mark genders, who also runs the John O’Gaunt pub in Hungerford, said: “We constantly change the ales and ciders that we offer and pride ourselves on not repeating either within six months.
“It is important to us to offer as wide a variety as possible to make every visit a fresh experience.”
West Berkshire CAMRA chairman Richard Scullion said: “For the Five Bells to be awarded our Pub of the Year and Cider Pub of the Year is not only recognition of Mark’s passion for good ale and cider, but a credit to his entrepreneurial skills in transforming the pub into a thriving enterprise.
“With one third pint tasting glasses available, visitors can realistically explore the range of flavours across the range on offer.”
