CONGRATULATIONS are in order for two of East Lancashire's top pub and club establishments.

The Red Lion in Red Lion Street, Earby was named 'Pub of the Year' by the East Lancashire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale.

And the Sydney Street Working Men's Club, Accrington, was named 'Club of the Year' in the same awards.

Red Lion landlady Janet Taylor said: "It's good recognition for us and good for business. I rotate my six guest beers a lot which they seem to like."
