It's cheers all round at the Horse & Jockey in Stapleford which is in the running to become CAMRA's best pub in the UK. The prestigious Pub of the Year competition, run by the Campaign for Real Ale, is the highest accolade afforded to the country's pubs.
The pub scooped the prize for the best in the East Midlands title and now goes through to the grand final up against 15 other regional winners. The competition has been on hold over the last two years due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Drinkers at 'the Jockey' have a wide choice of 13 ever-changing ales, including at least one mild or stout/porter. Five are classed as 'LocAle' meaning they are brewed within 20 miles of the "proper" pub in Nottingham Road.
