Seven of the best pubs for a Sunday roast in West Yorkshire that are featured in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2023 including Robin Hood Inn and Fleece Inn

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has reviewed more than 4,500 pubs across the country, with 401 Yorkshire pubs being featured in the Good Beer Guide. The book celebrates venues selected by its members for having the best beers.

It’s no secret that independent pubs and breweries in Yorkshire have some of the best locally sourced beers and lagers. The pubs which have been published in the 50th edition of CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2023 also serve the best roast dinner according to TripAdvisor.

“For nearly five decades, the Good Beer Guide has been a comprehensive guide to the UK’s breweries, their ales, and the best outlets to find them in across the country,” national chairman at CAMRA, Nik Antona said.

“The Good Beer Guide has always had an important role in acting as a barometer of the beer and pub industry. We believe information gleaned from the Guide is absolutely vital in the drive to save our pubs from closure and campaign for policies that better support pubs, local brewers and their customers.

“Whilst we experienced a boom in the brewing industry over recent years, it’s clear that the effects of Covid-19 and subsequent cost of living and cost of goods crisis has been keenly felt.

“I’d encourage everyone to use this Guide to seek out the very best examples of pub excellence and support these locals by visiting them.”
