The Standard Inn, Rye

Although we were among the first customers that evening, there seemed to be some things on the short evening menu that they didn't have and there was some confusion about what they actually did have. After ordering, we waited 35 minutes for our meal to come. I had soup which was way too salty. My husband's meal was a very small pie and half-cooked chips. When the waitress came to take our plates she asked if everything was OK. I explained why it wasn't but she just said 'oh'., no apology, no discount, which made me wonder why she'd bothered asking in the first place. One to avoid.

The Bedford, Balham

Freezing cold room and we had to wait an hour after ordering our food for it to appear.
Not recommended.

The Prince Llewellyn, Beddgelert

Soaked to the skin on a wet and windy October day, our bedraggled and shivering group of walkers were overjoyed to see a cosy wood burning stove as we walked into the Prince Llewellynn. The bad news was that the person running the pub, a pleasant enough young man, was sat right in front of it in a T shirt, with a book and a cup of tea. He went off to get our drinks, leaving his book and mug there as markers of 'his' spot. Maybe he could look up the word 'hospitality' in the dictionary. Then the word 'business'. Because if we hadn't been relegated to a chilly corner, we would have bought a second round. Maybe even a third.
