The Rose of Denmark, Bristol

Not quite sure where this pub�s reputation comes from. I walked out of my way to try this establishment because of its self-proclaimed �good beer� and �good-food�.
To start with the beer that I ordered � I think it was Gem � was drinkable but was not as fresh as other pubs I�ve visited in the vicinity.
It was Monday night and �5 a-meal-night: a selection of bog-standard pub-food meals. For five pounds you don�t expect a banquet, however what you do not expect is to be presented with scampi that you could practice with at the driving range. They were so over-cooked you have to wonder what the chef was thinking to serve them as edible.
Had I been asked I would have quietly expressed my displeasure. I was not so I�m expressing it here.
Though I base my opinion on only one visit I am able to distinguish fresh beer and I can spot terribly cooked meals and as a result it will be a long time until I offer my custom again.
