The Dolphin, Kings Cross

visited on 29/12/15; alighted the train at Kings X to meet friends in Bloomsbury. 3pm, saw a sign on the Euston road so thought I'd give it a try. What a mistake. The Irish guy behind the bar could barely bring himself to serve me, just mumbled the price of my Kronegbourg. Horse racing on the TV, seemed like Irish 'locals' place. When I left I took my glass back to the bar only to be grunted at. Presumably what an IRA outpost would feel like. I told Mr Jolly behind the bar what a pleasure it had been, which got another grunt. Vile, don't bother!

The Inkerman Arms, Rye Harbour

popped in on Dec 28th, 2 x pints of Old Dairy Copper Top in quick good nick, thought I'd try a toasted sarnie before the walk back up to Rye. £6.95 for the cheese & ham special (paid extra for the onion) what a disappointment. cheap cheese, white bread & about 5g of ham scattered sparsely through! It couldn't have cost more than 50p to put together..... what a rip off. The staff seemed unfamiliar with the till & completely ill at ease behind the bar. all in all a very amateur effort. can't wait for the Conq to re open.

The Star, Romney Marsh

Have long wanted to visit the Star, went on Sunday 29/09 & wasn’t disappointed. Friendly landlord, polite regulars & fantastic location opposite St Marys. Tried the Betty Stoggs which was spot on! Would have had more but was in the car. Bargain £1.50 bar rolls just enough to keep you going as a lunchtime snack. Will be back on foot or by bicycle.
