Michelin UK editor wants to eliminate the term gastropub

The editor of the latest Michelin pubs guide UK is calling for an end to the use of the term “gastropub” as a means to denote watering holes that offer finer dining options.

With more than 570 pubs listed in the “Michelin Eating Out in Pubs Guide 2014,” 70 of which are new entries, editor Rebecca Burr said there’s no longer a need to differentiate pubs from gastropubs, a term that was officially added to the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary in 2012 to describe “a pub, bar, or tavern that offers meals of high quality.”

“Hopefully we can now all stop using the term ‘gastropub,’” Burr said in a statement.
