The Clifton Arms is Admiral Taverns Pub Hero of the Year

The Clifton Arms is a superb example of the many pubs that refused to let the lockdown disconnect them from their community.

Led by licensee Carole Davis, this Blackburn-based pub has been voted the winner of the Admiral Taverns Pub Hero of the year in the Great British Pub Awards Pub Heroes 2020.

Carole kept connections going and started out sending essential boxes to vulnerable locals, as well as helping out the local hospitals and care homes with vital supplies as well fruit baskets to keep staff going as well as radios and TVs for care home residents who were isolated and without.
