Every now and then Leeds CAMRA makes an award to recognise a pub that has done something right, and done it rather wll. It’s called the Most Improved Pub award, and it doesn’t get handed out that often.

On a cold Tuesday in December, then, a bunch of CAMRA members made their way to the Original Oak in Headingley to hand over just such an award. The reason? The Oak, a long-standing keggery, introduced real ale over the summer. Initially this was Marston’s Pedigree, but the range is now expanding with beers from Shepherd Neame on offer on award night.

More about this in issue 112!
