A pub where golliwog dolls were seized by police has been banned from receiving awards or being in beer guides by the Campaign For Real Ales.
The White Hart Inn in Gray’s, Essex, has had its entry in the Good Beer Guide deleted and it will not be considered for any further guides, the Campaign For Real Ales (Camra) said.
Five police officers seized a collection of the dolls, which are based on 18th century minstrels and now regarded as racist caricatures, from the pub on April 4 as part of an investigation into an allegation of hate crime reported on February 24.
