Winner
The Marquis of Granby, Granby, Nottinghamshire
Finalists
The Geese & Fountain, Croxton Kerrial, Leicestershire
The Blue Cow, South Witham, Lincolnshire
The Frame Breakers, Ruddington, Nottinghamshire
The winner is The Marquis of Granby in the village of Granby, Nottinghamshire. This compact, cosy and welcoming pub is the brewery tap for Brewster’s Brewery of Grantham.
There are no frills in this pub – that’s not what the Marquis is about – but the beer is excellent and local, brewed by the talented Sara Barton and her team. The coffee from Nottingham’s 200 Degrees roasters is also good, and the pizza van that parks up outside every Thursday is a welcome draw, too – you can bring your pizza inside to eat.
The Marquis of Granby is an honest, down to earth and welcoming Vale of Belvoir boozer. It has an outdoor loo and an open coal fire – it’s undoubtedly a classic!
