Gem Douglas, manager at the Old Post Office, said: “We are an independent pub in Warwick focusing on cask ale, craft beer and real cider.

“Having created the bar nearly four years ago we have proven ourselves to be a popular bar with real ale enthusiasts.

“We have worked hard to consistently offer our customers a range of cask ales sourced from local breweries and ones from further afield.
