Gary Pullan, Melton Mowbray & District CAMRA chair, said: “The Stilton Cheese has been run by the Evans family for 30-odd years, which in this day and age is really something special.

“Their excellent range of ales and the fine food they serve is a magnet for customers from far and wide.”

The regional award presentation will be made to the winners at 9pm on Tuesday June 27.
