A pub named after a breed of pig was yesterday named the best in Britain.

The Old Spot Inn was chosen by The Campaign for Real Ale.

The 100-year-old free house in Dursley, Gloucs, shares its name with the county's old spot pig.

Camra pubs director Julian Hough said: "It is a great example of how successful a well-run community pub can be."

It beat three other regional winners - The Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty in Heronsgate, Herts, the Turks Head in St Helens, Merseyside, and the Blue Peter Hotel in Kirkcolm, Stranraer.

The award came as it was announced one in ten local pubs have closed in the last year.
