Pub of the Year 2024
Gold Winner - Bewdley Brewery Tap.
Silver Winner - Hollybush, Stourport.
Bronze Winner - The Black Star, Stourport.
Pubs were judged on a range of criteria, including quality and knowledge of drinks on offer, their decor and atmosphere, welcome and service, community focus and sympathy with CAMRA's aims.
We are truly blessed with many good pubs in Wyre Forest and these three edged the competition.

CAMRA's Online Pub Locator & Guide: WhatPub
This is a great website for finding out about pubs, and it can locate those nearest to you. In most areas of the UK, it has been updated with the latest services (take away meals, etc) being provided. If you're a CAMRA member whilst out and about you can record your beer scores in WhatPub, as it's beer scores that determine which pubs are selected for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide. Full details are available here: Beer Scoring and the Good Beer Guide
