Founders Arms, Bankside

Great location but the visit was let down with very poor food and ridiculously priced Budweiser. The food (fish and chips, onion rings) was dripping with old cooking oil and around a quarter of the chips were black. Everyone makes mistakes but this was visible and they seem to go for the one-off market of tourists who would not come back - even if they wanted to. There was a high turnover of customers when we were there but the tables were left dirty for a long time even though there were loads of staff. The best bit was the price of a 300ml Budweiser bottle which was a eye watering �4.10. When asked why they were so expensive they blamed the brewers; good on you Fullers !!
In summary there are plenty of places to go for food in the area so don't waste your money here.
