Pembrokeshire CAMRA’s Branch Pub of the Year 2024, the Cresselly Arms, Cresswell Quay, is the new CAMRA Pub of the Year for the whole of Wales.

In the surveys of Pubs of the Year across the country conducted by members of other Branches than the one nominating them on which this award is based, the Cresselly Arms averaged 89 points out of a possible 120. The runner-up, The Beaufort Arms from South Wales area, averaged 87.

Full results for Wales were:

Pub of the Year: Cresselly Arms Cresswell Quay, Pembrokeshire Club of the Year: Esplanade Club, Rhyl, Cider and Perry Pub of the Year: Flute & Tankard, Cardiff

CAMRA Regional Director, Chris Charters, will present our pub with its well-earned Wales Pub of the Year certificate at a date in the next few weeks still to be arranged. We hope as many Branch members as possible will join us at this event, at what CAMRA has decided is the best pub in the whole of Wales.

Cresselly Arms landlord Steve Adams, a staunch CAMRA supporter, was, not surprisingly, delighted when informed in person of his award by Branch Secretary Steve Brady and Pubs Preservation Officer Alan Kilbey.

Our pub now goes forward to the UK-wide CAMRA Pub of the Year 2024 competition, in which the whole of Pembrokeshire Branch wishes Steve and his team every success.
