The Ship Inn, Rye

Sutton 1 has this place spot on. We stopped for lunch and were not impressed. Bar woman a bit sharp for my liking and when my Girlfriend sat on a reserved table you would have thought the Pope was due in for a bite, going by here reaction. Eventually we found a seat that was not reserved for Gandhi or Mother Teresa. Ordered the mussels and crab from the very limited menu and then proceeded to wait half the day. On a culinary level I wish we were still waiting. Mussels were gritty and cold and as Sutton 1 has said crab was small and accompanying toast cold. We left when finished and were waiting for Bar Woman to ask if meals were OK (She didn't, They know don't they ! ) She still looked like she wanted a tip. In summary...We won't be back and god luck if you do

The Railway, Kew Gardens

Do like this pub but:
Believe refit is the best thing. They have a truly remarkable ability to produce smells from the basement/toilet/kitchen that would have a slaughter house cleaner more stunned than the animals they butcher. Have informed the Guinness book of records but apparently they were narrowly piped to the post of "Most nauseous gas in a public area" award by the Bhopal disaster.
Look forward to grand opening.
