Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has singled out the four best pubs in the country ahead of its 2018 Pub of the Year award.
A shareholder in Yorkshire's Black Sheep Brewery has launched a campaign to oust its founders from the business after five years of difficult trading.
CAMRA's Pub of the Year competition celebrates sites that ooze old school British drinking culture, with cask ales, open fires and oak beams all prominent features of the public houses.
