Dave and Andy Williams, who have run the Fletton High Street hostelry since it opened in 2019, held a pirate-themed fundraising night recently to celebrate Andy’s birthday and to mark it receiving two awards from the local branch of Camra.

They won a gold award for creating a new charity supporting community pub and a Locale award for promoting local breweries.

Last week the brothers donned their pirate hats once more to present a cheque for £653 to Gaynor Jackson from Cancer Research UK.

The fundraiser was the latest in a long line of events which have raised thousands of pounds for national charities and local good causes
