As part of its Cider Month celebrations throughout October, CAMRA has revealed the best two pubs for real cider and perry in Britain.
Out of a record 120 entries the Prince of Wales in Foxfield, Cumbria and the Hop & Vine in Hull have been voted Joint Winners in CAMRA's National Cider & Perry Pub of the Year competition.
Competition Organiser Sarah Newson said: "We had some very good entries this year but it was impossible to separate the two winners.
"The Prince of Wales and the Hop & Vine are doing a fantastic job raising the profile of real cider and perry and offering consumers a fine choice at the bar. Both are very worthy winners of the national award."
In the last year the Hop & Vine has served 63 different ciders and perries. The Prince of Wales has sold more than 50 different ciders and perries in the last 12 months.
Stuart Johnson, licensee of the Prince of Wales said: "Both real cider and real perry play a major role in the success of our pub and we are extremely pleased to be jointly crowned National Cider Pub of the Year with the Hop and Vine in Hull."
And Hop & Vine licensee Stewart Campbell said: "We were delighted to hear that we are joint winners of CAMRA's National Cider Pub of the Year. Our successful business plan is simple - real cider, real perry, real ale and real food."
