Reviews policy

We don't want offensive, pointless or totally irrelevant reviews. This doesn't mean you can't say anything bad about a pub, but if you don't like it, try to explain why. The aim is to help other users of this site; if you just want to have a rant, you're probably better off talking to your mates. Personal attacks on staff aren't allowed. If the barmaid was slow at serving people, then saying so is fine, but calling her a minger isn't.

Don't post anything that isn't true. For obvious reasons.

Please make sure your reviews actually say something about the pub, rather than just the previous people who've talked about it. If you disagree with what someone else has said, say why, don't call them a wanker. If you think the last 5 reviews were all left by the same person because they were posted within 10 minutes of each other and spelt "beer" as "bear" (yes, really, people do that), there's no need to point it out - do you really think you're the only one clever enough to notice?

We're quite happy for owners and staff to post details occasionally about their own pub, but only if they include facts that will be useful to site users ("we've just started serving Sunday lunch between 12 and 3" is fine, "our food is great" isn't). It's also very important to state clearly what your connection with the pub is. We'll take down reviews from staff pretending to be customers.

Oh, and one last thing - if you're going to accuse someone of doing something illegal (we're talking anything from letting in a few underage kids to selling class A drugs from behind the bar here), don't do it on this site, go tell the police.
