2007 Spring Pub of the
Season
Martin and Katie have been at the Elm Tree since September 2004 and in these two and a half years the pub has seen many changes. Prior to their arrival, the pub itself faced an uncertain future; the landlord was leaving and six villagers decided to take over, bringing in Martin and Katie to run it for them. Last year, Martin became the seventh director. This local input gives the pub a real community feel! In May 2006 the pub underwent a major refit, which - as well as altering the layout - resulted in the Elm Tree doubling the choice of its cask ales, from two to four. These are constantly changing, although the Snecklifter seems to be on more often than not - and very nice it is too! It is refreshing to see a pub that can combine good food and a friendly welcome with really good beer. It is also great to see a pub that has been able to expand its range of beers and caters to such a varied client base.
