Yes, but if you have a POI list of all the pubs in the Good Pub Guide, you don't need to buy a copy of the book.


I thought that was probably their reason, but a very shortsighted one (if not plain wrong) in my opinion.
A POI list is only going to give the address and maybe a phone number. The book is going to give far more detail about the building's history and ambiance, the food available and most importantly the beers!
Cheers!
The sort of CAMRA-type who is going to go to these places, is exactly the sort of person who is going to want all these details before he decides where to go.

I've got no problem with them providing the info themselves, either with the book, or by a download where you have to register and show proof of purchase or something, but to dismiss it out of hand (especially when someone offers to do all the hard work for them) seems like sticking their heads in the sand!

Little Chef have updated their POI file (17.05.2007) see http://www.littlechef.co.uk/findalittlechef.php?action=satnav.

Please note that Lamberhurst (A21) should be 51.07857 N & 0.41890 E, I have e-mailed them.

I checked through a few of the mentioned files, when they were first mentioned.

The majority of the locations I looked at, not just Little Chef, were based on the Postcodes. Rolling Eyes

The location on this Site is only 20 mteres out. Not bad. Smile

The Little Chef closest to me is about three quaters of a mile away from where it should be, at least its on the correct road Laughing Out Loud.

I should have said, "That location, on this Site is only 20 metres out. Embarassed

It's a bit much when even the company can't get the locations right. There is another error in the Little Chef POI, Markham Moor on the A1 is further south than the actual restaraunt
