The prestigious award recognises excellence in beer quality, atmosphere, service, and commitment to real ale and the local community. The competition was exceptionally fierce this year, with three other outstanding finalists: The Old Ale House in Truro, Moth and the Moon in Falmouth, and The Star Inn, Vogue. Each of these establishments showcases the very best of Cornwall’s pub scene, making the final decision incredibly difficult for the judging panel. Landlord Steve Hall and his team at The Hole in the Wall impressed the judges with their dedication to top-quality real ale, warm hospitality, and historic charm. The pub, known for its rich history and welcoming atmosphere, has become a favourite among both locals and visitors. Paul Waller, Chairman of CAMRA Kernow, commented:“This year’s competition was incredibly close, with all four finalists demonstrating the highest standards of excellence. However, The Hole in the Wall pipped it for its outstanding selection of real ales, commitment to the community, and superb customer experience. Huge congratulations to Steve Hall and his team!” The award will be officially presented at The Hole in the Wall on TBC, where members of CAMRA Kernow and local beer enthusiasts will gather to celebrate the achievement.
