CAMRA have issued the following press release on the 23rd of January 2026.
“CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year 2025 title has been won by the Tamworth Tap in Staffordshire, bagging an unprecedented trilogy of top titles.
Since the start of CAMRA’s Pub of the Year competition in 1988, no pub has ever won the Campaign’s most prestigious award three times – until now.
The award is the highest honour the Campaign gives to a pub, helping to showcase quality pubs across the UK that are worth seeking out and visiting. Beating thousands of entries, the Tamworth Tap was judged on its atmosphere, décor, welcome, service, inclusivity, overall impression and, most importantly, quality cask beer, real cider and perry.
Home to Tamworth Brewing Company, the multi-award-winning pub boasts a range of eight cask beers from both local brewers and across the UK, along with a wide selection of ciders, gins, wines, and bottled beers.
The Tudor building with a 16th century shop front and its historic courtyard beer terrace offers stunning views of Tamworth’s Norman Castle for a scenic spot to enjoy a pint. As part of the pub’s popular ‘CAMRA Corner’, the Tamworth Tap’s stairs have been decorated to look like a display of Good Beer Guides, along with a rare complete collection of CAMRA’s pub guidebooks.
The pub is the centre of its community, becoming a social hub by hosting a huge range of daily events, from craft clubs, painting nights, and faith groups to sell-out tutored tasting sessions. Owners George and Louise Greenaway (pictured far right) and their team support local charities, including the Royal British Legion Tamworth branch, and making Christmas hampers for St Editha’s Parish Church.
