The Boltmakers Arms has enjoyed another heady success in a top awards scheme. It has received the spring pub-of-the-season award from the Keighley and Craven branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Eric and Rose French, who have been running the Boltmakers in East Parade for more than 20 years, have previously picked up the award in 1986 and 1990. The pub has also featured for many years in a good beer guide.
