CAMRA Pub of the Year: The Crown, Finglesham - 11th June 2007
A few pictures from the 2007 Pub of the Year award and social evening at The Crown, Finglesham. A great time was had by all. Thanks to Dave and John Radford, the chef, for some great snacks.
Beer of the Evening was a special beer, brewed by the Ramsgate Brewery in honor of the occasion: "The Crown's POTY Ale". This beer was reddish in colour with a definite hint of fruit - delicious.
Congratulations to everyone at the Crown and keep up the good work.
