PUB TOO BRIGHT

The Kings Head, Teddington

Still a pub good enough for an evenings drinking and also pleasant enough to bring the family to. Great for sport, so avoid on sports afternoons if you want a seat.

However the main reason we used to go there at lunchtimes has changed - their magnificent burgers.

Some time ago they changed from what was surely hand-made fresh mince mix cooked to your liking to what I can only assume are now pre-packaged or frozen in some way. Still taste good but just not in the same league as the used to be. They've also stopped letting you ask them cooked rare citing 'health and safety rules' but what other logical reason could there be for only allowing them to be cooked medium or well done other than they've probably been frozen or packaged at some point?
