ESSEX'S best pubs have been revealed.

The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) has published its 2024 Good Beer Guide.

Having surveyed 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK, it is considered the definitive beer drinker’s guide for those seeking the best pints in the nation’s pubs.

Camra chairman Nik Antona said: “The last few years have been an incredibly difficult time for the industry, and we need more support than ever before to keep our nation’s pubs and breweries open and thriving.

"I’d encourage everyone to use this year’s Guide to visit the very best pubs and breweries across the UK and support them for generations to come.”

More than 100 pubs across Essex are featured in this year's guide. Here's a list of the best pubs in Essex, according to Camra.
