The motion

That the Parliament congratulates The Hillend Tavern, near Dalgety Bay in Fife, on being named best pub in Scotland and one of the top 17 pubs in the UK as part of the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Pub of the Year competition; believes that the traditional pub is locally known as  "the Tav", has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with cosy coal fires, serves four changing cask beers and has a rear area used to host village events; notes that The Hillend Tavern is proud to support and sponsor local sports teams including cricket, football and squash; recognises that the community-focused village pub previously won the Regional Scotland and Northern Ireland Pub of the Year award in 2023; understands that pubs in the annual competition are scored on their atmosphere, decor, welcome, service, inclusivity, overall impression and quality of live beer, real cider and perry, and that regional and national finalists, including the Fife pub, will now compete for the UK National Pub of the Year award, which will be judged in late September 2024, with the overall winner being announced in January 2025, and extends its very best wishes to everyone at Hillend Tavern for their hard work and good luck in the overall winner award competition.
