\n The T&A recently launched its Best Pub 2025 contest.\n<\/p>\n
\n Readers were asked to share their favourite drinking establishments, and the nominations poured in.\n<\/p>\n
\n These were whittled down to the final 10, and we\u2019ve been profiling each of the finalists who have responded\u00a0to our questions.\n<\/p>\n
\n Today is the final day of the competition and it is The Holme Lane\u2019s turn in the spotlight.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pub, which is in Tong Street, is a family-run business and has been since 1998, with Michael Buttrey running it for almost three decades.\n<\/p>\n
\n Luke Buttrey, Michael\u2019s son, said: \u201cWe are delighted at being put forward by our customers\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n He added: \u201cThe pub is cosy and inviting, like a living room.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe atmosphere is really friendly and welcoming, customers are more like friends.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe have a great selection of wines, spirits and beers on tap and the prices are reasonable.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cOur staff are warm and attentive, they remember your name and your usual order.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The Holme Lane hosts a number of events throughout the week.\n<\/p>\n
\n It begins with Monday Club where\u00a0a quiz is put on and there is\u00a0free pie and peas, followed by Bingo Night on Wednesdays and a pool tournament on Thursdays.\n<\/p>\n
\n Heading into the start of the weekend, there\u2019s karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights, and \u201cmore bingo and karaoke fun\u201d on Sunday afternoons.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Luke said: \u201cWe often have special events and themed nights too.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Over the years The Holme Lane has welcomed spiritual mediums to the pub and put on a 60s and 70s disco last July.\n<\/p>\n
\n Luke said: \u201cIt’s like a home away from home and we always try to make our customers feel welcome and comfortable.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The Holme Lane has a small, raised and covered beer garden to the rear.\n<\/p>\n
\n CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) says on its website that the pub was previously a multi-roomed building but is now open plan.\n<\/p>\n
\n It has retained three distinct areas though, according to CAMRA.\n<\/p>\n
\n The organisation says on its website: “As you walk in, the servery is in the centre with a larger seating area to the left and a games room to the right.”\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
