YOU can help with this task by completing a Green Card Assessment when you visit any pub in the Tewkesbury sub-branch territory. It only takes a couple of minutes and it means YOU have a say in which pubs are considered for a GBG entry. You can obtain a supply of Green Cards from our Secretary, Steve Kisby, to whom completed cards should also be returned.
Even if you have no cards to fill in, please do let Steve Kisby know your views about any pubs you visit in our area, specifically about beer quality, range of real ales on offer and standard of service.
To help you in choosing which pubs to visit, here is a link to a list of ALL the pubs which are located in the Tewkesbury sub-branch territory. You may like to print out the list and keep it for future reference.
