Customer Reviews

A must-have for every beer lover
I can't believe I'm the first person to review this book, surely other people must find it as indispensible as I do?

What can I say? It's great/fab/useful/unbiassed/independent...

If you like real ale and you don't buy a copy of this book every year you are either going to miss out on a fantastic pub you don't know about or you're going to trek miles to visit a pub that's closed or been refurbished as a "family-friendly bar and eaterie". Pubs do change that quickly and that's why you have to admire an organisation that manages to use its membership to resurvey the entire country and publish a guide every year.

Add to that attention to detail the talents of renown author/writer Roger Protz as editor and these books continue to shine above the rest.

Buy a copy now, you won't be disappointed.

The only reliable guide to Britain's pubs
By far the best guide to Britain's pubs for the simple reason that all surveying is undertaken by volunteers - there is no charge for entry unlike some lesser pub guides. Moreover, each pub is visited at many times throughout the year, not just on one pre-arranged visit. Not without flaws but with each passing year a more and more reliable guide. To me it's something of a bible.

Invaluable for pub crawls
This book is very useful and is a must for fellas who like cricket, red meat and a good old fashioned pint of English beer.
