Ayrshire bars in running for Sunday Mail Pub of the Year award
Three Ayrshire bars will fly the flag for the county in the top category. Three Ayrshire bars are in the running to land a prestigious Scottish title. Ayr's Smoking Goat, Vic's in Prestwick and The Weston in Kilmarus are among those doing battle for Pub of the Year. The prize, sponsored by the Sunday Mail, will be handed out at this year's Scottish Bar & Pub Awards. A total of 12 hostelries across the country have made the shortlist, which was voted for by the public and scrutinised by independent judges. A string of undercover visits have taken place across the nation to whittle down the very best in the business. All three Ayrshire venues are no stranger to award wins and will now look to land one of the most coveted prizes in the industry at an Oscar-themed ceremony in Glasgow on August 26. There will also be a host of other categories hotly contested on the night, from cocktails to beer gardens. Susan Young, editor of hospitality industry bible DRAM, said: "All of these pubs are top notch but there can be only one winner of the Sunday Mail mirror. Our judges will have their work cut out."

Bridge End Inn crowned CAMRA Pub of the Year in North Wales
Congratulations is in order at the Bridge End, Ruabon, this week after securing the regional Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) title. The local inn qualified for the crown after firstly securing the Dee Valley branch title which was awarded to them earlier this year. (Image: CAMRA) Owner Matthew McGivern is delighted, and claims it's a huge honour to his family and parents, Gill and Peter, who have run the establishment since 2008. The traditional real ale pub is known for its cosy and rustic charm, friendly atmosphere and commitment to real ale. They offer seven hand pumps, three lagers, and a selection of wines, spirits, and bar snacks. Previous successes for The Bridge End include multiple branch Pub of the Year (POTY), Welsh POTY and a deservedly awarded ultimate accolade of CAMRA National POTY for 2011. Matt said: "It's great to be recognised for selling great beer. Of course, the more you achieve the more criticism you're open to, especially with this being across the whole of North Wales. "But overall customers have been wonderful and so supportive. "Everyone struggled a little with Covid so it's great to be in the position we're in now. It means so much to us as a family and we'll continue doing what we do best moving forward." MOST READ CAMRA's prestigious awards are given to recognise the very best in pubs, clubs, beer and cider. A CAMRA spokesperson said: "This is voted for by the North Wales CAMRA regions. It's an amazing achievement for an independent pub to get this far and shows an outstanding understanding of real ale and how to run a successful and popular pub. Great for Wrexham too!" Last year, it was the Magic Dragon Brewery, also in Wrexham, that was crowned Dee Valley's Pub of the Year. Taking the regional title for 2024 was the Bailey Head in Oswestry.
