Saturday March 19th 2011 saw this year’s Newark CAMRA pub of the year presentation at the Prince Rupert. Landlord Tony was certainly emotional during his acceptance speech!
To celebrate, five real ales and house wines were offered at £2 until 5pm and to soak it all up, pizzas were distributed on a regular basis.
We also took the opportunity to collect for our chosen charity, Beaumond House Hospice. £138 was collected, which hosts Tony and Heidi YAle very kindly boosted with a £100 contribution!
The Love Boat Captains entertained us from 3.00pm which got Tony and Heidi,as well as some of the regulars, dancing and joining in with the tambourine.
Congratulations to Tony and Heidi and all of their team on winning this award, and many thanks for giving a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
