The Fox and Pine pub in Oldham town centre
The cosy Fox and Pine pub in Oldham town centre has won a top CAMRA branch accolade for the FOURTH year on the spin in the Pub of the Year awards voted by the local branch members.
Publican Chris Riley, revealing the win, said: ”We’re completely humbled.
“Today we’ve been voted Rochdale Oldham and Bury CAMRA Branch pub of the year for the fourth year running.
"A massive thank you to all our staff and locals.
"We might just have a wee celebratory drink tonight!"
The pub, on Greaves Street, has scooped up a forest of top local and national CAMRA awards in recent years, including the Greater Manchester CAMRA pub of the year.
Chris added: "Michelle’s kitchen has great quirky little ideas - her Duck a Muffin pies and her Steak and Bass Ale pies are just lovely.”
