Four Leamington-based puvs are in the run for this year's CAMRA 2026 Pub of the Year.

Every year, all CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) branches nominate and vote for the favourite pubs in their area.

The winners then go on to the county, regional and finally, national awards. Even at a local level, the award is highly regarded. 

Voting is now open for the 2026 Pub of the Year, with several Leamington pubs in the running.

Included in the list are :

• Benjamin Satchwell, Leamington Spa
• Boiler Room, Leamington Spa
• Fat Pug, Leamington Spa
• New Inn, Leamington Spa

There are two main categories: Best Town Pub and Best Country Pub.

Voters can choose up to three of the twelve nominated pubs in each category, so they have six votes in total.

The pubs were chosen based CAMRA's beer scores awarded throughout the last year:
