Good Pub Guide Book

The editors at the Good Pub Guide take their jobs very seriously. In fact, they take it upon themselves to visit every one of the 5,000 plus pubs included as main entries anonymously--checking to make sure that each pub has the atmosphere and a certain je ne sais quoi required to merit an entry in the prestigious guide. Divided into counties with Wales and Scotland forming separate chapters, the guide is very easy to follow. A map section at the back of the book ensures you won't spend hours on single-track lanes searching out the watering hole of your choice. Handy icons next to each of the main entries tell the reader at a glance whether the pub is particularly recommended for its food, beer, wine or value for money. The editors of the Good Pub Guide rely heavily on readers' recommendations so local knowledge is guaranteed. As well as the main pub entries the guide also includes a "Lucky Dip" feature at the end of each chapter detailing pubs the editors have not had the time to visit but which have received numerous reader recommendations. Now in its 19th edition, the Good Pub Guide 2001 is as valuable and reliable a resource as ever. Whether you want lunch in an unspoilt country inn or a pint in a bustling London pub, this guide will ensure you find it. In short, no glove compartment should be without one. --Sarah CrawfordRead More
