Have just tried your new website. Immediate comments: I like the pub locator and maps - I tried adding a road but it only gave me a few pubs around one point (how it chose this point I don't know). I question the accuracy of the locations - I looked at pubs within 3 miles of my house and firstly the map showed very few of the pubs in the area and secondly, many of the ones it did show are in the wrong place.

I was in Kingsand in Cornwall this past weekend for a wedding. I was staying very close to The Devonport Inn and had the pleasure of heading in for a drink after the train on friday night. It was fantastic. The Publican, James, really knows his stuff and not only was the selection of beer excellent -- but the beers were kept perfectly. I went in again before the wedding for lunch and the food was classic pub grub -- not fancy, but hearty and delicious. The pub was packed with walkers and dogs -- there was a roaring fire and very friendly locals. The pub is welcoming and I highly recommend going.
