A GLOUCESTERSHIRE landlady is raising a glass in celebration after her pub has been included in a real ale bible for the fifth consecutive year.

The dog friendly Three Horse Shoes in Frampton on Severn has won a place in the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) 2019 Good Beer Guide.

The pub comes under CAMRA Gloucester and is one of only nine of their pubs to be included in the guide – which gives drinkers a go-to reference of where to find great ales nationwide.

Landlady Jess O’Gorman says she is delighted that her pub has once again been included in the guide.

Brought up in Frampton, Jess says she recognises the special part the pub can play in the community and enjoys talking to visitors about the lovely village and its annual traditions.

Situated at the southern end of the longest village green in England, the Three Horse Shoes was taken over by Jess in December 2011 and it is a real family affair with her 'retired' parents Eileen and Mike in the kitchen.

Dad Mike is head cook, and much of his time is spent making the pub's popular signature dish - the 3 Shu pie. Eileen invented the pie specially for the pub.

It comes in two sizes and is made in an oval pie dish with cauliflower/broccoli cheese in one third, creamy mashed potato folded with mixed veg forming a dam in the middle and a choice of one of 14 fillings in the final third - all covered with a rich puff pastry.

Eileen was actually a barmaid in the Three Horseshoes in her twenties.

She now ensures the kitchen is well stocked, customer’s food is just right, and helps Mike in the kitchen.

She also organises buffets, functions and outside events, and looks after the pub's beer garden. Beccy, Jess's sister, helps out both in the kitchen and behind the bar too.

As well as running an award winning pub, Jess is also the holder of a more unusual title.

For four years now, she has won the women's category of the World El-ver Eating Championship, following in the footsteps of her dad, who won it in 1974.

The annual competition was brought back to Frampton in May 2015 after an absence of over four decades.

However, real elvers have been replaced with sustainable 'el-vers' made from fish meat.
