An Oswestry pub has been named one of the best in the UK.

The Bailey Head has been named among the four national finalists in the Campaign for Real Ale's (CAMRA) Pub of the Year award.

This means the pub is in the top four out of 40,000 pubs across the UK.

CAMRA West Midlands regional director, Shelly Bentley, presented The Bailey Head with their certificate.

She said: "To come in the top four in the whole of the UK out of 40,000 pubs is a massive achievement.

"The Bailey Head has won through several rounds: Shrewsbury and West Shropshire, Shropshire, the West Midlands region, and then the super regional round to reach the final four.

"From the first time I visited to judge it in the West Midlands round I knew it was special, not just for the beer quality, but the atmosphere, the knowledge of the staff and the cleanliness."

Landlord and landlady, Duncan Borrowman and Grace Goodlad received the certificate.

Ms Goodlad said: "I would like to thank our great staff and the regulars who come in and make the pub what it is all year round."

The overall winner will be announced in January.
