The Good Pub Guide 2002 Book

The Good Pub Guide 2002 is the 20th edition of this indispensable work. For many readers, it must be a candidate for Most Useful Book of the Year. Pubs are an integral part of British life--but how do you find the right one for the right occasion? After all, there's a huge difference between wanting a quick lunchtime drink (with a quick lunch), or a lively night out with mates, or a quiet and intimate evening out with someone special, or a family Sunday lunch. And then there are practical questions: do they allow kids? Is there a non-smoking area? And if you're on holiday in the Lakes or Cornwall, which are the "character" pubs you really shouldn't miss? And do they object to muddy boots? County by county (plus London, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands) The Good Pub Guide 2002 covers all the pubs which Alisdair Aird and his indefatigable team (what a terrible job they have!) reckon are the top of the league. And it says why, describing the atmosphere, whether it's olde-worlde or ultra-modern, quiet or crowded, which beers, wines and whiskies are stocked, types of meals served up--with prices and occasional specific recommendations--and even the entertainment facilities. The Guide depends on input from its readers. If you agree or disagree with anything, or if you find a stunning pub it doesn't mention, just fill in the forms at the back of the book and send them in, Freepost, to make your own contribution to the next edition of this superb book. --David V BarrettRead More
