Pub of the Year 2024
The winners and runners-up have now been anounced in the Shrewsbury & West Shropshire CAMRA Pub of The Year, Cider Pub of the Year, and Club of The Year competitions for 2024. For photos of the award presentations, please see our Pub of the Year page.
This year’s competitions were very tight, with judges finding it difficult to distinguish between the closely matched, excellent candidates nominated by Branch members. However, in the end there was one winner of both Pub and Cider Pub of The Year 2024, The Bailey Head in Oswestry. Huge and well-deserved congratulations to Grace, Duncan and the team!
The other winners and all the runners-up are listed below. Every single one deserves congratulations and a visit from you as soon as you can manage it!
As with all shortlists, we couldn’t include all the wonderful pubs which were nominated (fifty-one in total), so please don’t despair: we know how good our pubs are, and it might be your turn next year!
