10 Year Award for The Radius Arms Saturday 7 February 2026

We’d like to congratulate The Radius Arms in Whyteleafe for their award for 10 consecutive years in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide.

Members of the branch met at the micropub on the afternoon of Saturday 7th February 2026, where we presented the certificate.

On the bar we found both Ice Queen and Butterley from Ossett Brewery, The IPA from Anspach & Hobday, and Millionaire Shortbread Stout from New Bristol Brewery.

Pictured below is our branch chairman, Rob Wells (on the right), presenting the award to owner Vince.
