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!

We are gradually populating this page with full write-ups and photographs of all pubs in Tendring we feel are in harmony with CAMRA aims and objectives. All these pubs are very worthy of your custom but because some are exceptional we have highlighted the "Tendring Dozen" of must-visit establishments!

Please note that this list of pubs is reviewed at every branch meeting. So if you feel that a particular pub should be included or excluded please come along to a meeting to make your case!
