The micro pub is run by three brothers, Matt, Chris and Jamie Ward along with their father, Kevin, and opened up back in November last year.

It has been judged by Cannock Chase Campaign for Real Ale.

Matt Ward, 30 from Walsall, said: "It is fantastic to win an award in the first year. Thanks to our amazing customers and a huge thank you to the Cannock Chase Camra.

"Real ales have really kicked off recently so they are selling really well and what is also going really well is the gins. We stock over 40 different gins so we cater to the whole market.

"We have beers from across the country that you can't get anywhere else in Cannock. We've got Wild Beers, Beavertown products, North Riding which you'll struggle to find around here.

"The whole idea is that we brought a bit of that back into Cannock."
