Woolpack in Stanground voted Peterborough Pub of the Year by CAMRA

Branch spokesman Mike Blakesley said : “The pub (run by Linda and Pete Goddard) is a real olde world building steeped in history, and originally built in 1711. It has had many uses over the years from the village morgue to the local lock-up and a small military museum by a former landlord in the back room, the compact pub is a true community social Centre.

“Normally three or four hand pumps dispense a variety of beers, including LocAles from one of our local 15 breweries, the regular being one from Tydd Steam Brewery, Wisbech.

“They hold a beer festival each summer, there is a long garden which leads down to the river Nene backwater, with mooring for waterborne visitors an ideal spot for a summers day.”

As Peterborough Pub of the Year the Woolpack will go on to represent Peterborough in CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year award

There will be a presentation to Linda and Pete on Friday (February 12), all welcome.
