A pub walk from the Royal Standard of England in the small hamlet of Forty Green, Buckinghamshire

This Week's Pub Walk... from the Royal Standard of England in the small hamlet of Forty Green, Buckinghamshire

The Royal Standard of England, a traditional country pub featuring in The Good Pub Guide, is hitting the news again. After its success as a double winner at last year's event, it has now been short-listed in four categories this year for the Publican Food and Drink Awards 2008:

- Food Pub of the Year
- Classic Food Pub of the Year
- Speciality Beer Pub of the Year

Now would be a great time to try one of the Royal Standard of England pub walks as this already excellent contender may well be trying even harder to please - they will need to be ready for surprise visits from The Publican as they select their overall winners for each category.

Forty Green is a small hamlet surrounded by ancient beech woodlands, grazing pasture and quiet country lanes and great birdwatching territory. Combine that with a friendly, award-winning pub and you have perfect ingredients for a great pub walk.

Running from Saturday 16th to Saturday 23rd February 2008, The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is again organising Community Pubs Week to celebrate the British Pub and to encourage us all to support our pub heritage.

This is a great opportunity for pub walkers like us to put our own favourite pubs on the map and help their survival with a new pub walk to draw new custom through their doors. The general view is that there is a tough year ahead for community pubs and we've all seen the figures saying 56 pubs a month close for good.
