A Welsh pub has been named as one of the best in Britain after it secured the place in the national finals of a top competition. The Mold Alehouse is one of 16 contenders for the coveted prize of National Pub of the Year 2022.
The Grade II listed pub has impressed event organisers the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) with its no-nonsense approach - and its landlords are over the moon to be in the final after winning the Vale of Clwyd North Wales regional before being crowned Welsh champion.
The competition, last won by the Bell Inn in Berkshire in 2019, has been on hold over the last two years due to Covid-19. Now back up and running, the Alehouse has every chance of going all the way - much to the delight of landlord Gareth Jones.
