Executive Summary

3 pubs reach "Thriving" status (Band A).

The strongest performers — The Fox Inn (Great Barrington), The Pheasant Inn (Toddington), The Plough Inn (Ford) — show what's possible when individual publicans invest in digital. But there is still significant room for improvement. The estate average is 66/100, firmly in "Stable" territory.

Methodology

Each pub is scored across 6 pillars using publicly available data only — no pub cooperation required. Scores are based on data gathered August 2026.

Review Reputation — real Google star rating/17
Review Volume — real Google review count/17
Social Presence — a real Facebook/Instagram page and website confirmed to exist/16
Website Quality — a real Google Lighthouse audit (performance, SEO, best practices, accessibility)/17
Social Engagement — real posting frequency on Facebook/Instagram in the last 90 days/17
Content Freshness — whether the website has a blog/news/events section and how recently it was updated (a disclosed heuristic, not a hard measurement like the other five pillars)/16
