Branch members at the presentation of Regional Cider Pub Of The Year (CPOTY) 2024 to The Tom Cobley Tavern, Spreyton. on Saturday 27th July.
The Tom Cobley has an impressive record; Branch CPOTY six times, Regional CPOTY twice and currently CAMRA’s National CPOTY! They were also CAMRA's National Pub of the Year 2006 and a finalist in 2012 and are the only pub in the UK to ever win both Pub of the Year and Cider Pub of the Year, a unique achievement! They now progress once again into the national round of the CPOTY competition, the winner of which is announced in October at the start of CAMRA’s Cider Month. Fingers crossed they do as well as they did last year!
