From beloved locals at which you’ve been a committed regular for decades, to innovative new establishments famed for their new-fangled draught ales and quirky features, there really is a pub for everyone in our wonderful county.
When it comes to a pub’s beverage offerings, however, there really is no better or more thorough barometer of quality than the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and its annual Good Beer Guide.
Countless boozers dream of the day they are included in the prestigious tome, which adds not only a certain gravitas to their status as a proper watering hole, but it also means that dedicated drinkers will inevitably seek your establishment out to try it for themselves.
With that in mind, we’ve collated all the lists of regional pubs included in the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide to produce a list of the Preston, Chorley, Blackburn, Pendle, and Blackpool pubs included in this year’s guide.
Check out the full list below - how many have you visited?

57. No.10 Ale House & Kitchen (258 Whitegate Drive, FY3 9JW)

A range of three beers, usually including a dark beer, regularly change. Pre-bookings are recommended for their ever popular Thai-themed food. Outdoor drinking at the front of pub is courtesy of canteen-style metal benches and seats. It occasionally hosts private functions, so it is worth checking before setting off. | Google Maps
