🍻 History, quality and community spirit all under one roof.

A huge congratulations to The Sportsman Inn in Carlisle on being crowned City Pub of the Year by Solway CAMRA.

For centuries, The Sportsman has been at the heart of Carlisle's pub scene, and today it continues to set the standard. From perfectly kept cask ales and delicious home-cooked food to the warm welcome that greets every customer, the team consistently delivers the kind of experience that keeps people coming back.

Its reputation speaks for itself. Alongside previous honours such as Winter Pub of the Season, The Sportsman has earned regular recognition in the CAMRA Good B**r Guide and remains one of the city's most loved traditional pubs.

This latest award celebrates the passion, hard work and dedication of the entire team, who continue to preserve the pub's rich heritage while making it a thriving destination for b**r lovers and the local community alike.

👏 Congratulations to our Publican, Amanda Picken, and everyone at The Sportsman Inn on another fantastic achievement.

👻 THE GHOST OF THE HAVELOCK ARMS… IS HE STILL HERE? 👻

🎃 With Halloween just around the corner, we thought it was time to share a little piece of Havelock history…

Did you know The Havelock Arms was featured in the Sunderland Echo’s Haunted Pub Guide and the Paranormal Database with a 2 star haunted score 👀

Back in 1987, stories were told of a mysterious tall man wearing a waistcoat, unexplained thumping and banging from empty rooms, and even glasses flying off the shelves! 🍷👻

Known as the Havelock Ghost, this mysterious figure has been part of local pub folklore for decades.

And apparently, some people have had a few unexplained experiences of their own… 👀

So, we have to ask…

💀 Will he be joining us for our quiz tonight?

🎶 Will he make an appearance at our Halloween disco this Saturday?

Or will he simply be waiting until closing time…? 👻😱

If you hear a strange noise, see something out of the corner of your eye, or find a glass that wasn't where you left it… well, we couldn't possibly comment! 😈

Have you ever experienced anything strange at the Havelock? Tell us your stories in the comments!

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 pressure on pubs that bring people together.

The team at Vogue were searching for a shooting location that oozes class, was timeless and in-keeping with the theme of the movie... so where else were they going to film?! 😏

Take a look at the promo - Daisy is in character as Elinor Dashwood throughout!

Rory takes the keys to the refurbished Cross Keys pub in Nottingham! 🗝️

We have reopened the Keyworth Tavern following a quarter-of-a-million refurbishment 🔥

The Keyworth pub in Nottingham, run by our Management Partner John Francis, had been closed for 5 weeks while we tore out the bar, stripped the pub back and replaced everything with new, modern furnishings. 🤩

Great work by everyone involved in the transformation 🥂

Newly married couple Gareth and Jamie Furness have take the over The Bay Horse Inn in Pickering. 🔔

The pub has received a £400,000 investment and Gareth says it has been very well received by locals. 😃

“We are seeing more locals returning to the pub, faces that haven't been seen here for many years and we are seeing them on a regular basis... The refurb has really put The Bay Horse Inn back on the map and firmly at the heart of the Pickering community.” ❤️

Well done to everyone involved in this brilliant transformation 👏
