10th April 2010 - The Driftwood Spars has been named CAMRA Kernow Pub of the Year for the second time.

Defending its 2009 title, the Driftwood was hailed Cornwall’s best boozer in 2010 for the quality of its beer, its atmosphere and its work to promote real ale on a wider scale.

In particular, the pub and its team were commended for their work encouraging more women to enjoy real ale.

Landlady Louise Treseder said: “This is in recognition of our dedication to the quality of our product, the great beer we brew on site and our wider promotion of real ale.

“The whole team at the Driftwood works really hard to make sure our beer is consistently good, is looked after and served properly and most of all tastes brilliant.

Gerry Wills, deputy chairman for CAMRA Kernow and brewery liaison office for the Driftwood Spars, said: “This award is richly deserved. Louise goes out of her way to ensure her product is the best it can be, and she strives to improve her offering all the time.

“To win Pub of the Year, a hostelry has to go above and beyond pulling pints.

“It’s about promoting good quality ale and ongoing work ensuring the pub stays at the centre of the community, which is the aim of the CAMRA campaign on a local and national level.”

CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Kernow has over 800 members in the county. It works to preserve the quality of real ale by supporting local breweries and pubs.
