At the October branch meeting the top three pubs, having the highest beer quality scores awarded between July and September 2026, were announced.

The top three pubs (in no particular order) are:
Captain Noel Newton at Oakham
Lord Nelson at Oakham
White Lion Inn at Whissendine

Beer scores have taken them to the short list, but to win the Pub of the Season (POTS) you are asked to consider the wider CAMRA criteria when casting your vote, namely:

* Quality and Condition of the Product;
* Promotion and Knowledge of the Product;
* Cleanliness and Staff Hygiene;
* Community Focus;
* Service and Welcome;
* Style, Decor and Atmosphere;
* Sympathy with CAMRA's values; and
* Overall impression and Value.

Therefore, please visit the 3 pubs (don't rely on previous visits please), and make your vote for the pub of the season.

Please send your e-vote to ku.gro.armac.dnaltur@yraterces as soon as possible and no later than Friday 6th November so that the result can be announced at our branch meeting on Wednesday 11th November.

Please provide your name, CAMRA membership number and your (one) choice of pub to ku.gro.armac.dnaltur@yraterces The more of you that vote, the more representative the result becomes.
