Was it really 12 months ago we were scoffing scotch eggs at the Lord Clyde for the Fancyapint Best Pub Awards? Lawks, yes, and here they are again. This time, little surprise for the overall winning boozer. Every time we mention this gaff we get told to shush by you lot, keen to avoid the cosy ale and cider house getting swamped. But its 5 pint glory deserves to be shared. All hail the Southampton Arms!
All the winners are after the jump. Chew the fat, swill your pint and stick your tuppence halfpennies in the comments please.
