3.0 out of 5 stars Guide Ethos Change 22 Nov 2012
By Mr. A. E. Radnor
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Beware! The ethos of the Good Pub Guide has changed. Now, an outstandingly good pub up to "Main Entry" standard has to pay the Guide to be included as a main entry. Otherwise it is relegated to an "also ran" entry and buried in the "Worth a Visit" section. This means that many excellent pubs are now difficult to locate (as they are not included in the map section) unless you know the name of the village and look for a "*" annotation against the pub name. Therefore the usefulness of the Guide has declined significantly. However, this year the editors have reverted to the old layout of listing by counties, making it much easier to use. Pity about the main entry charge though.

2.0 out of 5 stars This guide has gone downhill 3 Dec 2012
By S. Brown
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sadly having bought and used the Good Pub Guide for many, many years I now have to admit that it's no longer worth getting. Instead of just using reports from customers and the editorial members who have visited the pubs, the editors have recently gone over to charging pubs for full entry into the guide. As a consequence there are now many excellent pubs not included because they won't pay up, and some which are not so great who have paid to get their pubs a main entry. This is a sad day for me - I feel that an old friend has chosen the commercial rather than the ethical route, so I won't be buying this guide again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good...but... 25 Sep 2012
By Martin S
Format:Paperback
The Good Pub Guide is just what it says, a good pub guide. I have generally found the appraisals reliable, trustworthy and good. The "but" is as others have said very poor maps and descriptions of where the pubs are. The writers really need to sort this out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Not as good as I had expected. Little on quality and examples of meals and cost range. Exact costs not needed but a range would be helpful.

Not as good as other Pub Guides. Some excellent pubs in our area (Northumberland) with real ales are not mentioned.

This book was fine about places it mentioned, but there are so many places NOT mentioned. I expected this to be a comprehensive guide to most pubs around the country. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Better
Better than previous issues but still organized in two sections for each area, making it difficult to locate a nearby pub. Would be better in one section with different ratings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pubs pay for entry
We still can't be sure that the best pubs are listed because an entry fee has to be paid to the publisher. Very disappointing.

It is now too packed with content as to be difficult to search through. Mattters made worse by grouping some counties together, which further discourages searching. Read more
