  • Awards
    • Pub of the SeasonTrafford & Hulme Branch awards four seasonal awards to pubs, bars & clubs in the branch area The Pub Of The Season award is presented to a pub or bar within the branch area which has excelled in one or more areas: a) introducing real ale to a new area or market where none has been available b) on-going excellence in the quality of real ales (and ciders) on offer c) on-going excellence of service to customers and/or the local community d) significant increases in the sales of real ales and/or traditional ciders e) excellence in support promotion of CAMRA and its aims f) significant charitable work Nominees for the award are put forward by local CAMRA members & voted on by branch members once a quarter. A pub (while under the same management) cannot be Pub Of The Season more than once in a 3 year period. A pub must have been under the same management for over one year before it becomes eligible to be nominated as Pub Of The Season. Find out more about Trafford & Hulme Branch’s process for pub and club awards here.
    • Pub Of The YearThe Pub Of The Year award is presented annually to a pub or bar which in the opinion of the membership “ticks all the boxes”. It should ideally offer a range of quality real ales, including speciality styles like dark beers; offer good real cider and perry; and offer at least one LocAle. A branch pub of the year should be a community pub that provides events and services for the local community. The pub should have a strong identity and personality that will often reflect the tastes of the licensee. The pub should exude a sense of welcome and the experience of your visit should leave you wanting to return. The pub or bar should be the one the branch feels is the very best overall in our area as the Pub Of The Year shall be put forward by the branch for entry into the Greater Manchester Regional round of the CAMRA National Pub Of The Year award where it will be judged on quality of cask ale (and cider); atmosphere; décor; customer service; welcome; value for money; customer mix.

    • Pub & Club Annual AwardsWhile the branch celebrates four Pub Of The Season winners throughout the year, these often go to long standing pubs and bars which are awarded for longevity of excellence. Starting from 2013, the branch decided it wanted to also recognise pubs that excel in specific areas. The branch presents four annual awards in addition to existing Pub of The Season and Pub Of The Year awards: Best Newcomer Most Improved Pub Or Club Best Community Pub Best LocAle Pub or Club For full details of the awards, click here
