The Royal Oak in Hail Weston has been named the best pub in Cambridgeshire.

The popular watering hole, near St Neots, picked up the accolade at the National Pub and Bar Awards.

It is the last remaining pub in the village of Hail Weston, and was closed for a number of years.

However, in 2017, it was taken over by manager Dawn Isaac and reopened to the public.

The pub is much-loved for its welcoming atmosphere and innovative ways of supporting the community.

Dawn spoke to Star Radio and had this message:

"I want to say a massive well done to the whole team.

"To James for his amazing food and his day-to-day support as deputy manager, to Chloe and Anya, unstoppable dynamos behind the bar, to Beth who loves serving customers (especially the four-legged ones), to Marc the calmest and coolest of kitchen hands, to Liz who always makes everyone feel so welcome and to James, Ava and Oscar our brilliant young student crew. 

"And of course Reuben for bringing us Vinyl Nights, Westfest, quizzes and so much more.

"And last, but never least, thank you so much to all of our fantastic customers. 

"Awards are great but it's all of you that keep local pubs like ours going."
