East Norfolk CAMRA is delighted to announce that following judging by CAMRA members from across the East Anglia region (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and parts of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, Blackfriars Tavern Great Yarmouth has been judged to be Pub of the Year 2024 for the region. Congratulations to Pharez and team on this fantastic achievement.

We are pleased to announce that our Cider Pub of the Year, Blackfriars Tavern Great Yarmouth has been judged the Norfolk Cider Pub of the Year by a panel of judges from around the county.

Hi to everyone, the big news in the branch are the results of our Pub of The Year competitions.

A team of assessors went out over the course of January and surveyed all nominated pubs and scored each venue by official criteria set down by CAMRA HQ, with each venue being marked by 2 separate assessors, all of whom were allocated to venues it was felt they had no particular allegiance towards.

The scores awarded were then averaged out and it has to be said the results could not have been any closer with the top 3 pubs scoring within 2 points of each other.

Without further ado we are very proud to announce the results.

Pub of The Year - The New Entertainer, Gorleston
Runner-up - Blackfriars Tavern, Great Yarmouth
