The Winner of the SPBW London Pub of the Year 2005 is :
Dog & Bell 116, Prince St, London, SE8 3JD Tel: 020 8692 5664 -close to Deptford Rail Station
The Dog & Bell which won this award in 2002 came out on top again closely heading off the Oakdale -Harringay and the Sekforde Arms (Clerkenwell). This is an excellent free house always featuring Fullers beers and several interesting and well kept guest beers. Food is good and the range of bottled continental beers (especially) Belgium is excellent. Add in a friendly warm welcome, separate bars including quiet areas, a warm fire and a fish tank and you can see why this fine establishment won.
All SPBW Members are welcome to attend the presentation which will be on Monday January 24th at 7.30 PM.
Recent years events at the Royal Oak (2004) & The Wenlock (2003), have been very successful social evenings.
