    Pub of the Year Results

    It’s that time of year to announce the results of our annual pub of the year competitions. We hold two competitions, Pub of the Year (PotY) and Cider Pub of the Year (CPotY), the first of which is broken down into two categories; Town and District.

    For the past few months our volunteer judges have been out visiting the list of venues, selected principally by their NBSS scores. Each pub is judged against a nationally defined set of criteria, not least the quality and consistency of the beer or cider.

    Newark CAMRA Town Pub of the Year 2026

    Winner: The Organ Grinder, Newark

    Runner-up: The Fox and Crown, Newark

    Newark CAMRA District Pub of the Year 2026

    Runner-up: Milestone Tap, Cromwell

    Newark CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year 2026

    Runner-up: The Final Whistle, Southwell

    The overall winner was the Final Whistle and as such they go forwards to the next round of the competition, Nottinghamshire Pub of the Year, we wish them well.

    We are blessed with some excellent pubs in our region making the competition very hard. Congratulations to all our winners.

    Cheers & Wassail
