Editorial policy

How we keep recommendations useful, transparent and independent.

What we evaluate

Historical significance, atmosphere, distinctiveness, music, drink, food, location, practical usability and how clearly the pub delivers the experience it promises.

Source hierarchy

We prioritise official venue information, official tourism bodies, heritage organisations and direct editorial review. Third-party reviews can reveal patterns but are not copied as fact.

Independence

No pub has paid for inclusion. Any future commercial relationship will be disclosed and will be written on the page.

Corrections

Send factual corrections through the contact page. Material corrections will be reviewed and dated.

Update standard

Evergreen identity and history are reviewed separately from volatile details such as hours, menus and event schedules. Visitors are always directed to confirm volatile details directly.
