Which Satnav can I have pubs as points of interest on?

I'm looking to buy my hubbie a satnav for his christmas present in the jan sales (we've delayed christmas this year to save money!). He goes gigging in a band most weekends, and mostly plays at pubs and hotels - I'd like to be able to get him a satnav that can list places like this reliably. Budget is £150, traffic updates I've heard can be unreliable so that's not a massive selling point. Any thoughts?

I've been looking at Garmin - there are so many mixed reviews on every single model that it's a bit overwhelming!

All of the main makes Tom Tom Garmin and the like.
If you go to http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/ you will find loads of downloadable POI files.
The Safety camera database has to be paid for, others are free.
Here is one for Wetherspoons:

communities post files on their site with 'point-of-interest' files.

I have Asda and Tesco petrol stations added. Its very easy.

Strangely - there is also a link to swingers clubs!!!

Sign up to https://www.pocketgpsworld.co.uk as penrhyn suggested. The list of POI's on there is enormous.

Everything from Public Toilets to Churches to Dr Who film locations.

They're all free as well apart from the speed camera database which is also one of the best.
