Beccles Celebrates Pub of the Year 2026 – The Tap Room

Located on Market Street in a beautifully converted former bank building, The Tap Room has quickly become a favourite for both locals and visitors. Inside, the pub features a hand-built bar and a relaxed, friendly setting that perfectly reflects Beccles’ strong community spirit.

Beer lovers are particularly drawn to its impressive selection. The Tap Room regularly serves a rotating range of real ales and craft beers, with multiple hand pumps and craft taps offering something new to try on every visit. Alongside beer, the bar also offers ciders, wines, spirits and other drinks, making it a welcoming spot for everyone.

The Tap Room (The Old Tap) has been named Pub of the Year by North East Suffolk CAMRA. The award recognises pubs that go above and beyond in delivering great beer, a welcoming atmosphere and outstanding service—qualities that have become synonymous with this popular town-centre venue.

For Beccles, the recognition is a proud moment. The Tap Room has become a hub for socialising, hosting events such as beer tastings and bringing people together over a shared love of good hospitality.

Whether you are a long-time local or visiting Beccles for the first time, The Tap Room’s latest accolade makes it clear: this is one pub well worth raising a glass in.
