Pub of the Year

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.

2026 - Regional and National Finalists

CAMRA has announced this year's top 16 pubs in the Pub of the Year 2026 competition. These pubs will now be narrowed down to four, and then the Pub of the Year 2026 will be crowned in January.
