Over 900 special pubs and inns for you to try - all inspected, all special. There are stacks for those who like their pubs with real ale on draft and pickled eggs on the bar and others for those who like leather sofas, chalkboard menus and a glass of Sauvignon. We have boisterous boozers and tasteful taverns; you need never be stuck in a grim, swirly-carpeted, jukebox-rattled corner ever again!
Treat yourself with a visit to this year's award-winning pubs - there are twelve winners in four categories including best pubs with rooms, best pubs for locally-sourced/organic food and drink, best community pubs and best unspoilt, timeless gems. Whether you're stopping for a hot beef sandwich after a hard day of hiking or celebrating the arrival of Friday at a slick city boozer there's sure to be something for you.
Our well-researched, fresh and lively write-ups paint an accurate picture of what to expect, from the welcome to the setting, to the food, beer and wines and there are clear maps, directions and symbols.
All 640 entries from the Pubs guide - and 250 'worth a visit' recommendations - are now available for your Garmin or Microsoft Mobile satnav device! For more information or to order, click here »
