Amazon.co.uk Review 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 Crawford

An invaluble book to have with you when travelling around the country. You can be sure to find excellent places to eat and drink which may even surpass their descriptions in the book. This book is the first thing to read befor a road atlas in order to plan your journey. Excellent

This is the best pub guide money can buy. I have used its annual updates for many years and have been to some glorious watering holes that you simply would not find without this guide. Its always in the boot of my car.
Addictive reading at home too! Buy.

Probably one of the more useful and fun reference books you can have on your shelves, or even in the car - don't drink and drive, stay over! Fantastic list of good pubs, whether you're looking for something different close to home, or when travelling. The list of pubs near motorway exits is such a great idea, and considering many pubs have B&B it's an even better travel companion. Definitely one to have handy.
