The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has announced the four best pubs in the UK as part of its prestigious Pub of the Year 2024 competition
The Little Green Dragon in Winchmore Hill has been named one of the four best pubs in the UK after winning through to the Super Regional round of CAMRA’s Pub of the Year competition.
A former shop unit, Enfield’s first micropub opened in 2017. Focusing on the quality and diversity of cask beer, the Little Green Dragon has an ever-changing selection of four cask beers sourced from local microbreweries and other independent brewers from further afield, plus real cider, perry and four keg beers.
Traditional pub games like table skittles and shove ha’penny are available for customers to play. The Little Green Dragon’s interior features an eclectic range of seating, from wall mounted benches to low sofas, and even repurposed bus seats.
Owner of the Little Green Dragon, Richard Reeve, said:
"I was delighted (and also a little shocked) to learn that our little micropub had been judged by CAMRA as one of the top four pubs in the UK! Clearly, at this stage of the competition, it is about far more than beer quality, so I really must thank my incredible family and staff and amazing regulars for making visitors feel so welcome in the Little Green Dragon."
Ellie Eames, London Regional Director for CAMRA, said:
“A massive round of applause goes to Richard and his team at the Little Green Dragon for their hard work to achieve this brilliant award. Their commitment to supporting independent breweries and providing their customers with quality real cider, perry and cask beer is truly commendable, and clearly reflects in their success as a community pub.
“I hope the Little Green Dragon continues to rise and receives even more footfall from new and current pubgoers to enjoy the fun atmosphere while indulging in a great variety of drinks.”
