Pubs

Our branch is responsible for surveying pubs in Tendring for inclusion in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

We prefer to make this a year-round activity but it culminates in February each year when we vote for the pubs we want to go into the guide that will be published in October in readiness for the following year.

Pubs are selected on several key factors but most important is beer quality. Beer quality however is so often a barometer of everything else and if a pub keeps a good pint it generally excels at being a pub!

To see details on all pubs in the branch, visit the Essex Pubs Database.

Beer Scoring

Scores for any pub in the country (but especially ours) can be entered using the National Beer Scoring Website, which uses your national CAMRA login.

If you are uncomfortable or unable to use the above site, print off this document which has space for you to enter the details, and hand it to the pubs officer at a branch meeting, or email the details.
