Reviews

  • Invaluable

    Sunday Telegraph

  • Britain's most indispensable book.

    Oz Clarke

  • A good pub is the backbone, heart and stomach of any walk worth doing - in winter with a plate of steak-and-kidney and a pint of Old Cruncher by the fire, in summer out in the garden with a sandwich and a nice hoppy Summer Special. I've used The Good Pub Guide since Noah was a lad to pinpoint a great pub with a decent pint as base camp for a walk, and it's never let me down.

    Christopher Somerville, The Times

  • Don't leave home without the nation's favourite read... The Good Pub Guide 2012...is celebrating its 30th birthday and is packed full of handy information for pub-goers.
