Pub Of the Year Award 2007

After a gap of several years, the Anchor in Digbeth has again won the coveted Birmingham CAMRA Pub Of The Year Award. It is a great achievement for Gerry Keane and his team, after running the Wellington so close the previous year.

The pub is situated adjacent to the soon to be rebuilt coach station in the City's Irish Quarter. Gerry's success has been based on a constantly changing range of guest ales, good value food and a great welcome to all. His family have run the pub for over 30 years and it continues to be a traditional local serving the community.

This is the fourth time the pub has won the award, the last time being in 2003.  The formal ceremony took place on Thursday 17th January. Read about it here.
