  2. Clear sources

    Every fact shows who supplied it and when it was checked.

  3. No paid rankings

    Venues cannot pay to be listed, scored or ranked higher.

  4. Easy corrections

    Anyone can tell us when information looks wrong.

What a venue page shows

These made-up examples keep official ratings, venue claims and Bars.co.uk checks clearly separate.

How venue rankings work

Free private mediation

Get free help to solve a problem

Tell us what happened. We will invite the venue to a private conversation and help both sides find a solution. We do not publish unchecked claims. A report does not change a venue score or search position.

Report a problemSee how it works
Your case stays private
We do not publish names, report details or evidence. A small checked status can appear only with separate permission.
Help for both sides
Both sides can explain what happened and suggest a solution. This is not a court or legal ruling.
