The Good Pub Guide

The Good Pub Guide is a long-running critical publication which lists and rates public houses (pubs) in the United Kingdom.[1]

Published by Random House's Ebury Publishing subsidiary since 1982, it is released annually in book form and, since 2009, online.[1]

By 2009, the book form guide contained over 5,000 of pubs based upon food, drink, and atmosphere. There were 1,140 fully inspected main entries and 1,931 entries recommended by readers which had yet to be inspected. In addition, the website contained a list of 55,000 pubs.[1][2]

Guide categorisations

Pubs receive a categorisation according to the findings of a GPG inspection. In order of the highest rating first, they are:

  • Approved: a pub which has been fully inspected by GPG staff and has attained the highest standard.
  • Recommended: a pub which has been fully inspected by GPG staff and has attained a high standard.
  • Lucky Dip: a pub which has been recommended for inclusion by several readers, but has not yet been assessed by GPG staff.[3]
gollark: (this is a different argument to "does said god actually exist" obviously, but the evidence there seems to be bad too)
gollark: I don't think they should be all-judging, and I don't think eternal torture is right ever.
gollark: The Islamic god is claimed to be omnipotent, I think. Thus, they know *in advance* if someone is going to go to hell or not when they're created or whatever. And then create them/allow them to be created *anyway*, knowing they're bound for eternal torture because a system they created makes them get eternally tortured. Just... why?
gollark: I consider eternal torture unethical *anyway*, but given the situation with god it's even worse.
gollark: I'm fairly sure Islam has a hell-type thing.
