Fenland Pub of the Year 2025 - The Horseshoes at Silk Willoughby Monday 24 March 2025
Local branches of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) are encouraged to nominate their annual branch Pub of the Year. We are delighted to announce that The Horseshoes at Silk Willoughby near Sleaford is the Fenland Branch Pub of the Year. To win the award, the pub is not just judged on the quality of the beer, but many other factors, such as cleanliness, community focus, overall impression and value, are taken into account.

We will be holding a presentation of the award certificate to The Horseshoes on Saturday 10th May at 12 noon.
