YouGov has recently published survey data on what elements make the perfect pub. Here’s the top ten:

1. Meals (67%)
2. Beer Garden (63%)
3. Fireplace (52%)
4. Friendly Bar Staff (51%)
5. Snacks (50%)
6. Real Ale (37%)
7. Live Music (35%)
8. Background Music (35%)
9. Pub Quiz (34%)
10. Allows Dogs (32%)

In addition, 27% of participants said their perfect pub would not allow children, 23% wanted cocktails, 18% wanted live sport and 17% a dart board. But there was, as you might expect, a marked difference in responses between the sexes. Women (74%) are more likely than men (60%) to have their ideal pub serving meals whilst more men (27%) than women (9%) want to see live sport.
