Pub of the Year 2024
It’s the time of the year when we commence the process to award the CAMRA Bradford Branch Pub of the Year. We will be applying the same approach as in recent years. To reflect the extended geography of the branch, it is intended to award the following:
Central Bradford Pub of the Year (from pubs within postcodes BD1 to BD8).
Outer Bradford Pub of the Year (from pubs within postcodes BD9 onwards & LS29).
CAMRA branch members are invited to nominate up to a maximum of 3 pubs from within the whole of the Bradford branch area, in order of preference. All pubs within the CAMRA Bradford branch boundaries are eligible but those that are nominated should be of a standard that can be considered suitable for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide (although they do not have to have appeared in it). The area boundary is available on the CAMRA Bradford website (www.bradfordcamra.org.uk).
Once the nominations have been received, the most popular pubs in each of the two areas will be visited, unannounced, by a panel of branch members and judged, according to National CAMRA guidelines, based on the following:
Quality and condition of the product;
Promotion and knowledge of the product;
Cleanliness and staff hygiene;
Community focus;
Service and welcome;
Style, décor and atmosphere;
Sympathy with CAMRA aims;
Overall impression and value.
The pubs with the highest overall scores will be confirmed in mid-March and declared the Pub of the Year for their respective areas. In addition, the most successful of these will be awarded the overall Bradford Branch Pub of the Year.
If you want your favourite pub(s) to be considered for Pub of the Year, please complete and submit a nomination form. Completed forms can be submitted by hand at a branch meeting / social event,
Nomination forms are available in this Tyke Taverner, on the Bradford CAMRA website (http://www.bradfordcamra.org.uk) and at branch meetings / social events. Nomination forms can also be emailed on request by contacting Secretary@bradfordcamra.org.uk.
The deadline for returning nominations is the branch social event on Wednesday 31st January 2024. Remember to include your name and membership number to ensure your nominations are counted.
