On 8 May, announcing that The Bell Inn, Aldworth is West Berkshire CAMRA’s Pub of the Year 2019, branch chairman Andy Pinkard said
This year, the CAMRA selection criteria for the Pub of the Year put equal emphasis on both the quality of beer and the pub’s role at the centre of a community. Great beer is a given for The Bell, as evidenced by its continuing presence in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide and the pub also stands out for its inclusive nature and is welcoming to all.
