Review:
I'd agree with J Halstead's comments above for the most part.
I suppose it all depends on what you look for in a pub. I too am a lover of real ale (although not a card carrying CAMRA member) and like pubs with good (well kept) beer and if possible good food. Not generally a fan of bistro type pubs (although I went to the Drunken Duck in Cumbria mentioned above and enjoyed the beer and food that I had there).
In the past I have used this guide, the Good Beer Guide and the more recently established Real Ale Pub Guide.
This guide (the Good Pub Guide) tends to put more emphasis on ambience and food than the quality or range of beers offered. Listings tend to be made on reader recommendations and I'd question how often they are revisited/reviewed. Using my local pubs as a yard-stick this guide has included pubs that used to be good but now are seen as declining/over priced.
The Good Beer Guide is the best reference book for all breweries and beers produced in Britain, some (very few) of the pubs can be a bit ropey but the beer is always good. Listings are reviewed each year by the local CAMRA branches.
The Real Ale Pub Guide tends to give the best of both worlds i.e. decent pubs with a good atmosphere and decent beer but because of this there are much fewer listings.
The one feature of this guide that I like is the round up of pubs in special categories, such as those near motorway junctions, those with big gardens etc. Shame the pubs recommended are usually not worth visiting.
