A Thornbury pub has been highly commended in CAMRA's (Campaign for Real Ale) Pub Design Awards.

The Butcher's Hook opened last year in a Garde-II listed building on the High Street.

It is on the site of a butcher's shop dating back to the 17th century.

Andrew Davison, chair of CAMRA’s judging panel said: “The simple presentation of the interior uses original features in a way that attracts the eye. The conversion is very sympathetic to the Grade II listed building.

“Great care has been taken to retain original features such as the screen partition between rooms two and three, original flooring, a sunken wall cupboard, and the meat hanging rails on the ceiling and hooks on the walls from the butchering days.”

Landlord Peter Tiley said: "I consider myself extremely privileged to have the opportunity to create and run a pub in such a historic building.

"Huge credit is due to my partner and designer Lizzie Hammond who was instrumental in the final design and fit-out stages in which we decided to allow the building's historic features to shine through.

"We are thrilled and delighted to have the pub recognised in this way".
