CAMRA’s National 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 real ale. Some may also have good quality real cider or perry for you to sample.
CAMRA has announced this year’s finalists from the UK’s nations and regions. 17 fantastic pubs have battled it out with thousands of pubs across the UK to be crowned the winner in their area. For the first time a Northern Ireland winner has been crowned this year, having previously been part of a joint Scotland and Northern Ireland Pub of the Year competition.

The impressive brewpub has been named the best pub in the UK for a second consecutive year in CAMRA’s national Pub of the Year competition.
The Tamworth Tap in Tamworth is housed in an elegant building, with Tudor features in the cosy upstairs room and a historic courtyard beer terrace that offers striking views of Tamworth Castle. It went from empty premises to an iconic brewpub in less than five years, and today boasts eight handpulls, including at least one Tamworth ale brewed on site. A ‘CAMRA corner’ at the bottom of the stairs includes a rare, complete set of Good Beer Guides.
Themed events regularly take place in this bustling brewpub, including ‘paint and sip’ sessions, film screenings and comedy nights. The courtyard features regular live music with local performers and its weekly ‘Sunday Session’. It also hosts events such as bat watch evenings, beer tasting sessions, an annual Wassailing ceremony and supports a wide-range of community initiatives across the town. The in-house ‘Tap Times’ lists local happenings and forthcoming events.
The judges described the pub as “An excellent example of a pub at the centre of its community that supports a wide variety of diverse local activity groups, with knowledgeable, helpful staff to help you find a real ale or cider to suit your taste.”
