I tell you what I hate, chain restaurants and also gastro pubs. Do not get me started.

Guinness braised feather of beef? order a fooking big pudding
Pan fried chicken? What else do you fry a chicken in
A few chips = 2 maybe 3 if the chef is in a generous mood.
Utter bollox
 
Because of where I am I listen to the BBC World Service on TV. I keep thinking there's a new Cambodian team playing in the Italian League called MEE LANN. How the hell do they do that? Why?

Math is creeping in and I hate it. Another nasty disease is loose when they mean LOSE. Reading I might loose the wife has me wondering what they mean.
 
Not been to the states for a while but one which really used to wind me up was in a restaurant the waiter says "This is our signature dish"

Your ****ing what?
 
Chan, exactly! I go to the pub for pub food, if I wanted something that looks like they have been messing with your food all afternoon I would go to a restaurant. The worst thing about these 'pubs' is that they are overpriced and don't really facilitate the needs of a pub. We have a pub in our village that is trying to go upmarket, as such, they have lost most of their locals and will probably end up selling the place for development. A pub is for people to get together and communicate about their lives, its not to eat overpriced food in a sterile atmosphere.

Oddy, I always expected the signature dish to come in with loads of squiggles on the plate
 
I am in full agreement on pub food 12 of us wentfor a meal yesterday the food was passable the service was shocking, that shocking they gave us a partial refund without us complaining. The birthday meal in january resulted in bad food bad service a free round off drinks and a full refund lol . I am a beleiver in you pay for what you get and in a public house if you want good food buy some nuts.
far to many pubs have intergrated the bar and lounge now obviously to stop any trouble from alchohol abuse , this however only means you have to listen to bad languge whilst eating pre-packed microwave food .
