Part of their aim was to be up-to-date - laptop-equipped reviewers would keep circulating around pubs. However their select-pubs-by-beer-name data, for instance, was several years out of date and they still display prominently an ancient review of the Free Press.
Another problem is their promotion of law-breaking "children welcome" pubs - ones without Children's Certificates. Apart from the legal side, these pubs could be seen as cheating relative to the (few) pubs which have gone to the considerable effort and expense of qualifying for a Certificate. Of course the real answer is to modernise the licensing laws and so this aspect of the Guide could be seen as a campaigning point!
Overall we wish them well but believe that incorrect info needs to be fixed. We've repeatedly attempted to get them to improve the Guide without any success so far. It has tremendous potential.
