Criteria

  • Quality of real ale (and real cider, if available). Largely self-explanatory, but remember that a few - even just one or two - well-kept beers are better than a larger number of tired ones.
  • Community focus. Is the pub genuinely part of the community, does it attract a good cross-section of local people? Pointers include notices, charity events, games, clubs, and activities based at the pub.
  • Atmosphere. Is it a pleasant place to drink?
  • Campaigning and beer awareness. Is real ale promoted and interest in it encouraged? Pointers include information on the real ales served, noticeboard for forthcoming beers.
  • Style / decor. Is the style of decor suitable to the pub type? Is it well maintained and clean?
  • Service / welcome. Is the service efficient, friendly, and prompt, with full measure provided? Are you treated as a valued customer or just another sales opportunity?
  • Value for money. How do prices compare with similar local pubs? How do prices for real ale compare with prices for other beers?
