The Railway Inn in Ketton Rutland has officially done it and what an achievement it is.
In a triumph that has sent waves of celebration across the county, the Rutland local has been crowned the CAMRA East Midlands Pub of the Year. To secure such a prestigious accolade, the team first had to conquer the local competition across Rutland and Leicestershire before advancing to the regional stage. There, they went toe-to-toe with the finest establishments from Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and Nottinghamshire, ultimately outshining them all to claim the overarching title.
Run with an unwavering passion for traditional pub culture, exceptional hospitality, and meticulously kept cask ales, The Railway Inn represents everything that makes the Great British local so special. CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale) awards are judged rigorously by experts and enthusiasts who look not only at the pristine quality of the beer and cider on tap, but also at the warmth of the welcome, the character of the building, and the pub’s integral role within its community. By excelling across every single metric, The Railway Inn has proven that true dedication to the craft does not go unnoticed.
For England’s smallest county, this regional victory is a momentous occasion. It serves as a brilliant reminder that Rutland punches remarkably above its weight, housing hospitality venues that can stand proudly alongside the very best in the country. This crown not only puts Ketton firmly on the national map for beer lovers and tourists alike, but it also elevates local pride to new heights.
As the team at The Railway Inn celebrates this well-deserved milestone, they carry the hopes and cheers of the entire county with them into the next stages of the national competition. Whether you are a lifelong regular or a first-time visitor passing through the village, there has never been a better time to drop in, congratulate the hardworking staff, and raise a pint to a true champion of pub excellence. Cheers to The Railway.
