The Anglers at Wombwell continues to serve 3 cask beers,always in tip top condition.Though when i call in it does not appear to be well supported by CAMRA members.How do i know this,because most of the time i spend in there i am the only one drinking cask conditioned beer.Yet it is still always in tip top condition.

Admin reply: Thanks for the news on the Anglers Rest. A small group of CAMRA members called in the pub just the other week, 7th January. We are also due a meeting there on 28th February. If only I could be in there as often as you.
Keep the beer arm active.
