A SOUTHWOLD eatery is celebrating after scooping a top industry honour.

The Crown Hotel, which is owned and run by Adnams brewery, has been named as Suffolk's Dining Pub of the Year in the Good Pub Guide 2013, which is published today.

Manager Lukas Juszczak said he and his team were 'chuffed' with the result. He praised the hard work of his staff and said the accolade was down to the venue's relaxed atmosphere and use of local produce.
