STAFF at the Queen Elizabeth Inn in Elmley Castle are celebrating after it was awarded ‘Pub of the Year’ at the recent Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards.
The Queens, as it is affectionately known by the locals, is community-run and run by local people who are shareholders alongside a dedicated team of professional staff.
More than 30 local people work together with paid staff to ensure a sustainable future for this much-loved historic establishment which dates from the 16th century.
A pub spokesperson said: “We are an accessible, family, and dog friendly destination for locals, visitors and tourists who appreciate the extensive selection of homemade dishes using locally sourced seasonal produce together with local ales, ciders, and wines.
“We operate a bar, restaurant and our tea room, Bessie’s which is open all day for breakfasts and home-made cakes.
“We also offer takeaway food, a virtual village shop, book library, and host many community group activities.
