FOUR boozers have been named on the shortlist for the prestigious Pub of the Year title.

The Swan With Two Necks in Pendleton, Lancs, The George & Dragon in Hudswell, North Yorks, and The Bell in Aldworth, Berks, are all past winners.

The fourth — The Red Lion in Preston, Herts — became Britain’s first community-owned pub in the 1980s.

The winner will be announced in February by the Campaign for Real Ale.

The competition’s co-ordinator Andrea Briers said: “It is amazing to see so many well-respected pubs return to this prestigious competition to compete for the ultimate title of the best pub in Britain.”

All of the pubs in the competition are selected by Camra volunteers and judged on their atmosphere, decor, welcome, service, value for money, customer mix and quality of beer.
