Great but needs to be refreshed October 10, 2008
Mr. R. Lewin (London, England)
If you do not own any pub guides, including previous editions of this one, I would recommend this one highly - it only includes pubs of a high standard (and doesn't just focus on the BEER) and covers the whole country with impressive breadth. Even the lucky dip pubs are usually the better pubs in town - I've rarely been disappointed by one.
BUT... if you own any of the previous few editions of the Good Pub Guide I see absolutely no point in buying this. It is slightly frustrating the way the Guide never changes much. This could be a signifier of good standards, but it isn't flexible enough. So many great pubs are not included (this edition has no place for The Flask in Highgate, one of the best pubs in north London) and yet year after year many of the same ones are, like that dubious Wetherspoons near parliament.
There are very few changes to the previous edition, and that includes the layout and paper stock, both looking a bit old fashioned now. The Good Food Guide underwent a radical revamp two editions back - it's time the Pub Guide did too.
