Ale enthusiasts decide spoons can’t be licked
Two hundred and eighty Wetherspoon pubs have been acclaimed for the quality of their real ale – by members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The pubs are listed in CAMRA’s publication The Good Beer Guide 2026, the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide.
Pub history
Until its very recent closure, the Collingwood Hotel had welcomed visitors to north Devon’s Ilfracombe for over 130 years. The imposing five-storey building was named after Admiral, Lord Collingwood, Nelson’s second-in-command at Trafalgar (who fought just off the Spanish coast in 1805). Cuthbert Collingwood fired the first shot in the battle (one of British naval history’s most famous and crucial) and took over command of the British fleet after the fatal wounding of his friend Horatio Nelson.
