THE Lord Crewe Arms at Blanchland has added to its collection of accolades after being named as the Inn of the Year by the Good Pub Guide 2018.

The annual publication is produced as a result of regular feedback from customers as well as random inspections by its editors.

General manager Tommy Mark said: “With such strong competition across the whole of the UK, to be singled out for this title is a tremendous coup.

“This is a big pat on the back to all the team for their hard work.

“It’s a fantastic accolade which follows hot on the heels of many others over the last couple of years.”
