Pub of the Year

CAMRA’s Pub of the Year is the annual competition to find the very best pub in the UK. We’ve been highlighting the best pubs in the country since 1988, and the competition helps to showcase quality pubs around the UK that are worth seeking out and visiting. It’s all about finding the cream of the crop and the best place for you to enjoy a pint of cask beer. Some may also have good quality real cider or perry for you to sample.

The super regional and final round of Pub of the Year is sponsored by CAMRA Beer Quality Partner Avani Solutions and Technology Partner ICRTouch.
