National Pub of the Year

The National Pub of the Year is an annual competition held by CAMRA every February that finds the best pub in the UK.

Established in 1988, the competition helps to highlight quality pubs around the UK that are worth seeking out and visiting.

Each year, each local CAMRA branch nominates one pub in their area to be entered.

These 200 pubs then go through to the regional competition, which then whittles down to 4 pubs to go to the national final.

The pubs in the national final are then evaluated on:

• Quality of the Real Ales served
• Value for money
• Atmosphere
• Interior decoration
• Customer service and welcome
