 The
Good Pub Guide: 2002
Synopsis ~ Independent, honest and entertaining, "The
Good Pub Guide" provides information on places to eat
and drink, the prices, the facilities and the award
systems. There are over 5000 entries covering waterside
pubs, city pubs, rural inns and backstreet gems.
From the Author ~ ALISDAIR AIRD SAYS:
I started the Guide nearly 20 years ago, going to visit
all the pubs to check out whether I'd want to recommend
them to my friends. Now, I'm helped in this by three
full-time people, and by many thousands of readers who
also love pubs and are kind enough to tell us about
all the best places they visit. But no pub makes it
into the Guide without a rigorous anonymous inspection.
The range of places is terrific, from unspoilt taverns
through places stocking and even brewing...

 The
Good Food Guide: 2002
Synopsis ~ Starting life in 1951 when it pointed readers
to places where they could find competent cooking, half
a century on THE GOOD FOOD GUIDE now covers a restaurant
scene hailed by many as the most vibrant in the world.
Entries convey the character and ambience of the restaurant
and food and wine served, plus give comprehensive details
of opening times, prices, policy on children and smoking,
wheelchair access and accommodation.
Review ~ A reader from London, UK, 6 October, 2001 ~
The Good Food Guide 2002 follows the format of previous
Guides; the introduction (which this year has a ten
point checklist on what NOT to do to win custom) followed
by reviews of each restaurant - outlining the meal,
environment and experience, with a detail section including
marks for cooking, wheelchair access, vegetarian options,
name of the chef and proprietors, and so on.
Restaurants are ordered alphabetically by name within
London, followed by the rest of the UK alphabetically
by location. There are some good colour maps, with the
locations of featured restaurants marked - I have already
used this to find somewhere new on the fly while out
in London, and had a fantastic meal as a result! There
are three £5 vouchers which can be used at many of the
listed restaurants, which both tempts you to try somewhere
different, and recoups the cost of the book.
The Guide is thorough and reliable, as I find that most
of my experiences at restaurants mirror that of their
inspectors' - which means I can trust their judgement
and enjoy finding new and interesting places to eat.
The best guide of its kind!
