EnglishWhich Solihull-area pubs are in the Good Beer Guide?
Updated
The Solihull and District CAMRA branch page names three local venues that have appeared in the Good Beer Guide every year for the last 10 years: The Fieldhouse, the Pup and Duckling, and the Knowle and Dorridge Cricket Club. The same page announces that the 2027 edition of the guide is now available and congratulates all the pubs and clubs that were successfully selected, but it does not publish the full local list on that page.
What the branch page actually confirms
| Item | What the page says |
|---|---|
| Guide edition | The 2027 Good Beer Guide is now available |
| Where to buy | A link to the CAMRA shop (shop1.camra.org.uk) |
| Long-standing selections | The Fieldhouse, the Pup and Duckling, and the Knowle and Dorridge Cricket Club, selected every year for the last 10 years |
| Other selections | Local pubs and clubs are congratulated, but they are not named in the excerpt |
So if you want the complete set of Solihull-area entries for a given year, the branch homepage is a starting point rather than the final answer.
How to get the full local list
- Check the branch news pages. The homepage points readers to the side menu or top drop-down menu for "latest branch and pub news." Selection announcements usually sit in the news section rather than the welcome text.
- Use the national pub guide. The site's menu includes a link to the national CAMRA pub guide, which is where individual guide entries are searchable by area.
- Buy or borrow the guide itself. The 2027 edition is sold through the CAMRA shop linked from the page. A printed copy gives you the definitive entries, including descriptions written by local branch volunteers.
Why the 10-year list matters more than a single year
A one-off entry can reflect a good year; a decade-long run signals consistency. The three venues named — two pubs and a cricket club — have been judged worth including every year for 10 years, which tells you the branch has found their beer quality and consistency reliable over time. That makes them a sensible shortlist if you are planning a visit and want somewhere with a track record rather than a single good review.
Two practical caveats:
- Clubs are included too. The Knowle and Dorridge Cricket Club is a club, not a pub, so opening hours and access may differ from a typical pub. Check before travelling.
- Guide entry is not a permanent status. Selection is reviewed annually, so a venue's presence in the 2027 guide says nothing definitive about later editions.
If you want to verify a specific pub
Search the pub's name alongside "Good Beer Guide" and the year, or look for the current guide entry in the national CAMRA pub guide linked from the branch site. For the Solihull branch specifically, the news pages are the place where newly selected venues are most likely to be named.
