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 ale. Some may also have good quality real cider or perry for you to sample.

2025 - Tamworth Tap

CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year 2025 title has been won by the Tamworth Tap in Staffordshire, bagging an unprecedented trilogy of top titles.

Since the start of CAMRA’s Pub of the Year competition in 1988, no pub has ever won the Campaign’s most prestigious award three times – until now.

The award is the highest honour the Campaign gives to a pub, helping to showcase quality pubs across the UK that are worth seeking out and visiting. Beating thousands of entries, the Tamworth Tap was judged on its atmosphere, décor, welcome, service, inclusivity, overall impression and, most importantly, quality cask beer, real cider and perry.

Home to Tamworth Brewing Company, the multi-award-wining pub boasts a range of eight cask beers from both local brewers and across the UK, along with a wide selection of ciders, gins, wines, and bottled beers.
