Like one of the Guys being interviewed said (and I paraphrase), 'It's horses for courses, there is no such thing as a perfect pub'.

Judging by the number of people in my local one on a Friday and Saturday night, many people must think that 'spoons are 'perfect' (or is it because there is nowhere else to go?), wheras I don't particularly like tham.

As PH says, horses for courses, I suppose a starting point would be free beer :cheers:

Any Bathams pub is just about perfect for beer

Or the Ropewalk, Nottingham, if you like twigs:twigs:

I think there is a perfect pub but this is only perfect for me, it would'nt matter what pub a group of people visited it might be perfect for one person and another might hate that pub so there is no perfect pub for everbody.

As for my perfect pub it is the one i am walking through the door to get a drink.

Surely the Great Western in Wolverhampton is the perfect pub!

Good call! Next to the train station. Thornbridge, Holden's, Pardoes and Batham's in one pub.

Popular with Wolves fans on matchdays. Oh well, nearly perfect. ;)
