Take a look inside Bristol's pub of the year winner voted by you

After hundreds of votes, the BristolLive Pub of the Year was crowned some weeks ago, with the Rose and Crown on Two Mile Hill in Kingswood taking the title. Our readers took to voting for their favourite pub in the city in their droves and the Kingswood boozer won with a massive 691 votes.

On its win, Christopher Williams, one of the owners of the Rose and Crown told BristolLive: "It's been so lovely to have so much support this year. The pub's manager, Dan Walker, has been following the voting and has been putting up all these little QR codes to try and drum up voting for us. It's created a lovely little buzz in the pub. I have an amazing team who all work really hard, so it's great to see people recognising that.

"It's really nice for us and also I think for the local people as well, because a lot of coverage of pubs and things that are going on in Bristol is usually all based in the city centre. But there's still a lot of places in Bristol that are past the M32.

"We're sort of floating in between Kingswood High Street and St George High Street. There's no parking around us really, so the pub is definitely more of a pilgrimage spot. You do have to plan your journey, come on foot usually, or be nice and local really.

"We've become somewhat of a meeting place for lots of people meeting people halfway between places. We have lots of groups getting together because of that, people hanging out and celebrating birthdays and other things."

It's not the first time this Kingswood pub has received such a commendation from BristolLive readers. In October, it was voted as serving up the city's best Sunday roast too.

Take a look at some photos of the team celebrating their win in a festively decorated pub before Christmas in our gallery below...
