BITE Pub Of The Year 2005

The wait is finally over -- Beer In The Evening are proud to announce the winner of our inaugural Pub Of The Year competition! From a final shortlist of 20 after nominations were opened midway through 2005, the votes poured in throughout December and we're happy to now reveal the result. Beer In The Evening's pub of the year 2005 is:

The Market Porter, SE1

Receiving the award

This traditional pub, close to London Bridge station and on the edge of Borough Market, is massively popular with everyone -- market traders, city types, tourists: you name it, they're all here.

It's easy to see why; open from 6am, the Market Porter is a lively place to meet any time of day and the drinks cater for all tastes. As well as a standard selection of lager, cider and Guinness, there's also a phenomenal selection of constantly changing real ales from a range of microbreweries up and down the country.

Landlord Nick Turner and his staff create a friendly atmosphere and provide great service, despite the bar often being packed to the rafters -- as it was when we pitched up to present Nick with the Pub Of The Year 2005 plaque! We're happy to report that he was chuffed to bits with receiving the award, and on his behalf we'd like to extend our thanks to everyone that voted for his pub.
