Scotland & Northern Ireland Pub of the Year - What is it?

The Scotland & Northern Ireland Pub of the Year (SNIPOTY) is an annual competition run by the Scotland & Northern Ireland CAMRA Region to find the best pub within the Scotland & Northern Ireland region.

SNIPOTY Process

Once all of the local Scotland & Northern Ireland branches have run their local POTY competition and have announced their winner, these local winners are entered into a regional competition.

Each branch puts forward its local POTY winner (10 pubs in total) and a Judge to take part in the regional competition. Each pub is allocated an area, North Scotland, Central Scotland and South Scotland. Each judge must visit the pubs they have been allocated and complete a survey. Once the surveys have been submitted, the top pub from each area is then surveyed again. The winner of this is then crowned the Scotland & Northern Ireland POTY.
