Publisher's Synopsis
This unique pub guide has established a loyal following among those discerning drinkers who abhor the muzak systems and jukeboxes which infest so many otherwise pleasant inns. Fully revised and updated, this fifth edition include hundreds of pubs, grouped by county or region, ranging from simple alehouses to sophisticated gastropubs. In addition to addresses, phone numbers and opening hours, the entries give information on the real ales available, the food served in bars and/or restaurants, the licencee's attitude to children and dogs, car parking and, of course, a description of the inn and any special attractions such as gardens, facilities for horses or boats and nearby walks or places of interest to visitors. Everyone has their own ideas about what goes to make the perfect pub, but if yours include the freedom to enjoy a pint or a glass of wine in peace and to have a conversation without having to struggle to make yourself heard against an intrusive musical background, then you will find The Quiet Pint an indispensable guide and companion.
