Finalists for Britain’s best Pub Shed of the Year include a countryside-style pub and a nightclub-themed bar
A NIGHTCLUB-themed garden bar and two mini country inns have reached the final of the Pub Shed of the Year competition.
The Stagger Inn — with a pool table and DJ decks — was started by owner Rick Cooper in lockdown.
Rick, of Manchester, said: “I was working full-time throughout the pandemic and built this on my own in the little spare time I had.
“I’m quite impressed myself.
“People can’t believe it’s in my garden.”
His rival The Tiger, in Somerset, is a country-style pub complete with a log burner and vintage furniture.

Its creator, Mark Fletcher, named it after a pub he used to co-own in Middlesbrough.
The Dog & Ball, built by John Simmonds in Portsmouth, has its own dart board and even a beer garden.
He said: “I fixed every timber and fitting and all 4,500 screws myself.”
The official Pub Shed of the Year will be named on November 12.
