Liverpool landlady 'proud' to be among 'famous five' pubs in the UK

The landlady of one of Liverpool’s most famous pubs says she is “proud” to run one of the so-called 'famous five' pubs in the UK.

Carol Ross, landlady and owner of the much-loved Roscoe Head in Liverpool city centre, said she is "proud" after the pub was named in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide (GBG) for the 50th year in a row this year - one of only five pubs in the UK to share this honour. Carol took ownership of the pub in November 2020 after a long battle with the pub’s previous owners .

Carol, whose family has run the pub for the last 40 years, said she was “truly elated” with the honour, despite sometimes believing “this battle was never ending”. The pub has faced a number of challenges over the last few years, including several lockdowns during the pandemic and the restrictions that followed.
