A Helston pub has been acclaimed for the quality of its real ale – by members of the town’s Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch.

The Coinage Hall in Coinagehall Street is listed in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2019, the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide.

Local branch members chose the Wetherspoon pub for inclusion in the guide following regular visits to check on the quality of the real ales on offer.

They also took into account customer service, décor and overall atmosphere.

A CAMRA spokesman said: “The Coinage Hall deserves its place in the Good Beer Guide 2019.

“It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of real ale, then everything else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food and atmosphere, are likely to be of an equally high standard.”

The pub’s manager, Bethany Marshall, said: “I am delighted that The Coinage Hall has been recognised for the quality of its real ales by CAMRA members.

“We offer our customers an excellent range of real ales at all times, including those from regional brewers and microbrewers, as well as hosting our own beer festivals.

“Staff at the pub work hard to ensure that the real ales on offer are kept in first-class condition at all times and the pub’s inclusion in the guide highlights this.”

The John Francis Basset in Camborne's Commercial Street is also listed in CAMRA’s guide.
