It was a close call in this year's Wessex area CAMRA Regional Cider Pub of the Year with five finalists vying for the coveted award with entries from Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire.

As reported earlier, locally the Andover Tap at The Lamb had made the finals of the regional round with its fine selection of real ciders and perries.

The competition recognises the best pubs or clubs that promote and encourage the sale of quality real cider and perry across the country. 

This week the regional winner was announced as:

The Woodman Inn, Bridport, Dorset

It now goes forward into the national competition.

The Woodman Inn is an independent traditional pub serving a changing selection of beers and ciders, as well as providing a home for events ranging from folk nights, plays and story-telling. It really is a home from home and well worth visiting.  

The five finalists were:

Saxon Bar, Christchurch, Dorset
Woodman Inn, Bridport, Dorset
Lawrence Arms, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire
Andover Tap at The Lamb Inn, Andover, Hampshire
Cuckoo Inn, Hamptworth, Salisbury, Wiltshire
