Pub of the Year 2024
Congratulations to our 2024 Pubs of the Year:
Croydon borough - Claret & Ale, Addiscombe;
Sutton borough - The Hope, Carshalton.
Presentations will be scheduled in due course.
Following the decision made at our 2023 AGM, the pub that went forward to the London regional round last year cannot go forward this year. Therefore in 2024 the Claret & Ale will go into the London regional round.

How good was that beer?
We can all usually tell a good beer from a bad one, but only a few members tell CAMRA what they think. That's a shame, because we need to know, and use the information to help choose which pubs go into the Good Beer Guide each year. It's a lot easier than you think to 'score' a beer and we'd love it if you would help by recording your scores. You don't need any particular expertise, so why not give it a go, next time you have some cask ale? More information is available on this page: Beer Scoring
Help keep WhatPub? up to date
When visiting pubs, please continue to let us know any relevant updates, changes and information by using the feedback form on the pub's page on https://whatpub.com/
