Park Inn, Shirley is Southern Hampshire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2024
We're delighted to announce our local branch's Pub of the Year 2024. This year's winner is Park Inn in Carlisle Road, Shirley, Southampton. The finalist pubs were each visited by four volunteer judges, who assessed them against CAMRA's national Pub of the Year scoring criteria (which will also be used in the regional and national competitions). The four finalists, selected by CAMRA members before the judging, also included: the Freemantle Arms, Southampton; Olaf's Tun, Southampton and Steam Town, Eastleigh. A formal presentation of this award will be announced in due course.
