The Trafalgar Hotel in final four for 'Best National Pub' award

One of the Island's most beloved pubs is vying to be crowned CAMRA's Best National Pub.

The Trafalgar Hotel in Ramsey has made it down to the final four in the Campaign for Real Ale National Pub of the Year awards.

'The Traf' has secured the prize locally for the last two years, but victory in the big competition would make it the first Manx pub in history to do so.

The pub, which has always been a champion of real ale, will be up against boozers from Kent, Tamworth and Skipton.

Over the next two months it will be visited by a CAMRA member who has as yet not taken part in the voting with the winner set to be announced in January.
