Blackfriars’ joy at cider success
Latest News from East Central

Blackfriars’ joy at cider success

CAMRA’s Cider and Perry Pub of the Year 2025 crown has been won by the Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth.  The competition recognises the best pub or social club that champions real cider and perry across the UK. Judges are looking for great atmosphere, décor, welcome, service, inclusivity, overall impression and, most importantly, top quality cider and perry.  The Blackfriars Tavern is a Victorian corner pub, which has quickly become a must-visit destination for cider and perry lovers with more than 20 locally sourced real ciders available and some from further afield.
