Home to Tamworth Brewing Company, the multi-award-winning pub boasts a range of eight cask beers from both local brewers and across the UK, along with a wide selection of ciders, gins, wines, and bottled beers.
The pub is the centre of its community, becoming a social hub by hosting a huge range of daily events, from craft clubs, painting nights, and faith groups to sell-out tutored tasting sessions. Owners George and Louise Greenaway (pictured far right) and their team support local charities, including the Royal British Legion Tamworth branch, and making Christmas hampers for St Editha’s Parish Church.
The award is the highest honour the Campaign gives to a pub, helping to showcase quality pubs across the UK that are worth seeking out and visiting. Beating thousands of entries, the Tamworth Tap was judged on its atmosphere, décor, welcome, service, inclusivity, overall impression and, most importantly, quality cask beer, real cider and perry.
Congratulating the Tamworth Tap, Andrea Briers, CAMRA Pub of the Year Coordinator said:
“This is history in the making. I can’t congratulate George, Louise and their team enough for the trailblazing feat of winning the National Pub of the year award for a third time. What can you possibly say about this fantastic pub that hasn’t been said already? The local community are lucky to have an incredible pub with such dedicated staff on their doorstep. Please raise a pint, or three, to our triple champion!”
“Even with a trio of national awards, the Tap still faces the same challenges felt by pubs across the UK. Pubs are hanging over a cliff edge with grossly unfair business rates, spiralling high costs and hikes to Employer National Insurance contributions heavy burdens on already tired shoulders. Government gave no support at all in the Budget which was disastrous for the industry, and a swift U-turn is desperately needed on the dangerous rise to business rates bills. I hope everybody can take the time to get out and support your local, especially as January is often such a difficult month for the trade.”
