IT WAS a double-whammy for Ellesmere as two of its pubs have been given a mention in a prestigious beer guide.

The Vault Ellesmere and the White Hart have both received a mention in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2020.

The town’s pubs were two of 4,500 pubs in the country to be selected for a place in the guide, out of a staggering 50,000.

Landlord of The Vault Ellesmere, Paul Brown, was delighted with the news: “We’ve only been open two years, so to get in the guide after such a short time is a great achievement. We hope people come along and see what we are about.”
