New Inn is the pub of the year
Comments |
Champagne corks were popping at the New Inn in Deal High
Street after it was named Mercury Pub of the Year 2010.
kmfm’s Breakfast Show DJ Johnny Lewis
celebrated with landlady Debbie Doyle and partner Terry Bailey
after handing them a trophy to mark their achievement.
Debbie said she was told of the victory
when a regular phoned up after reading it in last week’s
Mercury.
The New Inn was one of 15 pubs to enter
the competition and readers registered more than 3,000 text votes.
More than 100 voting coupons were also sent by pubgoers.
The New Inn is one of Deal’s oldest
pubs, having been established in the High Street since 1605.
Traditional elements are still important
and home cooked food, prepared by her new chef Tony Suckling is
served every day. A Sunday carvery has become hugely popular
and with culinary theme nights adding a bit of colour and spice to
the menu, it’s no wonder the pub is still such a firm
favourite.
Johnny Lewis said: “It’s great to see so
many pubs being voted for in the competition, and the number of
votes we received goes to show just how important the pub still is
to relax, chat to friends and find out what’s going on in the
area.
See this week's East Kent Mercury for the full story.
