A pub named after a pig has been elected the best in Britain.

The Old Spot Inn, in Dursley, Glos, was praised yesterday by the Campaign for Real Ale as a well-run community pub.

The century-old free house, owned by Ric Saintly and run by Steve and Belinda Herbert, is named after the Gloucestershire Old Spot breed.

The award from Camra coincides with the launch of a campaign to encourage people to visit pubs during this traditionally quiet time of year.
