Special Places: Pubs and Inns of England and Wales

We have dug out pubs with style and great food; pubs with heaps of atmosphere; pubs packed with chatty locals; pubs that make you feel warm inside; pubs with fires to toast your backside after a wet walk; engagingly odd pubs; breathtakingly inventive pubs; traditional pubs where you can nourish the fantasy that the world has not changed. Banished are the sticky-carpeted dives, the chained-and-themed horrors, the ear-splitting hell-holes inhabited by louts. This well-loved guide gives you all the information you'll need to know - opening times, prices, directions and phone numbers to make a booking. Make sure you keep one in your glove box.
