"With so many innovative chefs working in the country's top dining pubs, our task of choosing a County Dining Pub can be extremely difficult. What we are really looking for is a pub where people truly enjoy eating out - and a lot can depend on atmosphere as well as the quality of the food. Although there is often an obvious winner, at times we agonise over which of two or three pubs offering their customers imaginative, top quality meals should win the title.
Our job is helped by our inner core of 2,000 readers who write to us regularly and have done so for many years. They help us enormously with their up-to-date feedback on pubs all over the country, and help us build up a detailed picture of how each place is doing, particularly with regard to food. This plus our own inspection meals and menus from the pubs themselves help choose the cream of each county’s Dining Pub winner." - Fiona Stapley, editor of The Good Pub Guide.
