Approved: a pub which has been fully inspected by GPG staff and has attained the highest standard.
Recommended: a pub which has been fully inspected by GPG staff and has attained a high standard.
Lucky Dip: a pub which has been recommended for inclusion by several readers, but has not yet been assessed by GPG staff.^[3]
