Three Cambridgeshire pubs named among best in East of England

Everyone has their favourite pub, but has yours been named as one of the best?

Several Cambridgeshire pubs have been named as the best in the region. More than 250 pubs have been recognised in Tyrrells National Pub and Bar Awards 2026.

Of the pubs nominated, three Cambridgeshire favourites are among some of the best. These are: The Burleigh Arms in Cambridge, The Lion at Ickleton, and The Three Hills in Bartlow.

Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub and Bar magazine said: “Our bigger and better format that debuted in 2025 was such a success, we can’t wait to roll it out again this year. The fact that the celebrations last from the long Easter weekend, when we celebrate this year’s County Nominees, right up until the awards night at the beginning of summer is no less than this wonderful industry deserves.

“We just want to do what we can to spread the word about these brilliant businesses.”

All of those nominated will be invited to a celebration in London, which takes place on June 10. The 94 county winners will be announced. Pubs that are highly commended will also be able to collect their certificates.
