Meet David Hancock, our chief pubs inspector
David has spent 30 years doing exactly what most people dream of: travelling the UK in search for the best British pubs. He’s edited every Sawday’s Pubs & Inns guide, written for The Sunday Times and Country Life Magazine, and has judged the country’s top pub awards.
But what makes him truly invaluable is the way he notices the quiet markers of a great pub, like the barman who can proudly trace each pint back to the local brewer, bedrooms that still carry the character of the old coaching inn or village alehouse beneath, and the unmistakable atmosphere of a pub where people feel at home. That instinct is what shapes our pubs with rooms collection today.
