The four finalists in the CAMRA Pub of the year 2024 have now been named

Black Horse, Preston
A visually stunning Victorian Grade II listed pub opposite the historic Preston open market, the Black Horse is a fantastic example of Victorian architecture, retaining original fittings from the era. Most noteworthy is the beautiful semi-circular ceramic bar, tiled walls and meticulous mosaic flooring throughout the pub. The Black Horse serves ten handpumps including four changing guest beers from far and wide, plus a range of ciders

Three B’s, Bridlington
Run by a husband-and-wife team who are passionate about beer and cider, the popular micropub is described as “Bridlington’s Real Ale Destination”, showcasing four cask beers with a focus on stocking local Yorkshire-based beers. The pub is renowned for its excellent customer service, with the staff providing knowledge on the drinks they serve, as well as information for visitors about what they can get up to in the town. The pub aims to never sell the same beer twice, making for an exciting range of everchanging beers at the bar.

Little Green Dragon, Wichmore Hill
A former shop unit, Enfield’s first micropub opened in 2017. Focussing on the quality and diversity of cask beer, the Little Green Dragon has an everchanging 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 such as table skittles and shove ha’penny are available for pubgoers to play.

Bailey Head, Oswestry
Nestled near the Welsh borders in the charming market town of Oswestry, the Bailey Head is a must visit for beer lovers. The pub has one of the largest beer ranges of any in Shropshire, claiming to have sold over 3,400 different draught beers since opening in March 2016. Six constantly changing cask beers, always including one dark beer, are supplemented by eleven other draught beers, plus four ciders and a perry. The pub also has a substantial range of canned and bottled beers from across the UK and overseas.

The four finalists will be presented with their awards at local events over the coming weeks and will now have the chance to compete for the overall Pub of the Year title, the Campaign’s topmost award.
