Ratskeller Hausbrauerei, Darmstadt

Fantastic place, great staff, good food and excellent beer. Well worth a visit.

The Porterhouse, Covent Garden

Went here last night.

Food: utterly, utterly underwhelming. Had a lime and coriander chicken salad, which had no lime or coriander, the chicken wasn't great and neither was the salad.

Beer: Good range as per usual. The "Koenig Ludwig" wheat beer was lovely.

Prices: this place always used to be expensive, but they're just taking the mick now. 3.80 for a bottle of Banana Bread. 5.95 for a 1ltr bottle of Cruzcampo that costs about 50p in Spain. 9.25 for the underwhelming salad.

Not good value for money at all, and given this place is starting to get a bit grubby and tatty (the toilets are *minging*) and other places in the area are starting to increase their beer ranges, I suspect this place could find itself falling out of favour in the near future.

The Beehive, Vauxhall

Ridiculously expensive, especially so for a pub outside the centre of London. Nice beer garden though.
