Every pub rated

We give every pub we visit a "pint" rating, Of course, it's necessarily very subjective, but the criteria listed below broadly explain how our pint ratings work.

All the current pubs we've visited are listed here. To find out what how we've rated a particular pub, click on a rating and the range containing the first letter of the name of the pub you're looking for, in the menu on the left.

If you're a pub landlord or manager and want to get your pub on the site, or you want to change something email us at editor@fancyapint.com.

Five pints - this pub is worth a special effort to visit, it will be in a good location, be architecturally interesting, serve a good range of well kept beers and food of a high standard and have a pleasant atmosphere. Whilst some pubs get close to this, this combination of unique features and high standards is unusual enough to make this a rare and special award.

Four pints - whilst the four pint rating is awarded more often than the five, it's still a special pub that merits this. It is usually awarded for having a combination of some (but not all) of the features listed above. A four pint pub is worth a detour.

Three pints - this is awarded to decent pubs, that offer reasonable beer and food, have a pleasant atmosphere and are easy enough to get to. Whilst you might not go too far out of your way to get to one, if you're in the vicinity of a three pint pub, don't miss it.

Two pints - many pubs fall into this category. These pubs may not have any outstanding features but are competent in most of the key areas. They have sometimes let us down in a small way - often not their fault - but nevertheless we felt they could be better. Two pint pubs are usually good honest, boozers and are often frequented by regulars and depending on the occasion, usually do the job.

One pint - these pubs sell beer etc, but somehow have managed to piss us off. It could be poor beer (or selection of beers), poor service (a common failing) or just frequented by a crowd of regulars that resent the presence of outsiders on their patch (another common occurrence). Go to these pubs if you're really thirsty and just can't get to the nearest two-pinter or better.

No pints - some pubs just don't deserve to stay in business unless they buck their ideas up.
