CAMRA's Online Pub Locator & Guide: CAMRA Pubs Guide
This is a great website for finding out about pubs, and it can locate those nearest to you. In most areas of the UK, it has been updated with the latest services (take away meals, etc) being provided. If you're a CAMRA member whilst out and about you can record your beer scores, as it's beer scores that determine which pubs are selected for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide. Full details are available here: Beer Scoring and the Good Beer Guide
