Five pubs in Ely and Soham have been included in the 54th edition of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide.

Five pubs in the Ely and Soham area have been recognised in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide, now in its 54th edition. The West End House and Drayman's Son in Ely, the Carpenter's Arms in Soham, the Plough in Little Downham, and the White Horse at Witcham were selected through a competitive voting process involving CAMRA volunteers, who compile the guide from data on pubs where readers can find excellent cask ale, much from local and independent brewers.

The West End House, a short walk from Ely Cathedral, is a local drinker's pub with four distinct drinking areas and an enclosed patio, popular for musical and societal group meetings. It is CAMRA Ely and District's Pub of the Year for 2026. The Drayman's Son is a micropub in a former shop known for its wide range of ales and keg beers, with up to 14 beers generally available – four on cask and 10 on keg.
