12 years of great pints at the The Cross Keys Newbold Coleorton B&B 🍺

A huge congratulations to Donna and Peter Swain, who have just renewed their Cask Marque accreditation at the Cross Keys in Coleorton, marking 12 years of consistently excellent cask ale.

Holding that standard year after year takes real dedication to cellar management and quality. On top of that, the Cross Keys has also achieved a 5 (Excellent) B**r & Cellar Hygiene Rating, the highest score available.

As Peter put it himself: “hard work pays off sometimes.” We’d say it pays off every time someone orders a pint at the Cross Keys.

Well done, Donna and Peter. We’re proud to have you as part of the Admiral family. 👏

Our pubs are about so much more than a pint. They’re where communities come together, friendships are made and local life happens.

Britain’s pubs are worth up to £30 billion in wellbeing value to communities across the UK, but rising costs and high taxes are putting the pressure on the locals we know and love.

We’re backing Long Live The Local to help protect our pubs and the communities they bring together. ❤️

Last week, colleagues from across the business headed to Spinners for a social night together!

From bowling and mini golf to shuffleboard, it was a chance to step away from the day-to-day, catch up with colleagues and have a proper laugh together 💚

The Crown Fordham has been named Admiral Taverns Pub of the Year at this year’s Great British Pub Awards, hosted by The Morning Advertiser! 🏆

The team from the Crown headed to Leeds for the awards last night and came home with the win, following months of judging and a fantastic achievement in making it through to the final six.

A huge shoutout also has to go to our other brilliant finalists — The Border Terrier , The Harp Inn, The Angel-poole, The Ashmore Inn and Chrystal Bell, Glasgow. To have six pubs representing Admiral Taverns at the awards is something we're incredibly proud of. 👏

For The Crown, the award is fantastic recognition of everything the team has put into the pub and the role it plays within Fordham. The support from customers, regulars and the wider village has been incredible, and it’s clear just how much the pub means to its community.

Congratulations to everyone at The Crown, and to all of our finalists! 👏

The Royal Oak Platts Common has now re-opened 🥳

The Royal Oak officially opened on Saturday 5th September, following an unofficial opening the weekend before that gave locals their first chance to see what the team had been working on.

And it's fair to say they were ready for it. The pub was packed, with plenty of familiar faces coming back through the doors. There have been plenty of memories shared from over the years, with some locals remembering the Royal Oak as their pub back in the 80s and 90s, recalling the nights, celebrations and good times they spent there.

Now, following its transformation, the Royal Oak has been given a fresh new look, with live sport, pub games and new spaces for the community to enjoy.

A brilliant start for the team and a great welcome back from Platts Common 👏
