The Pied Bull, Farningham

We used to go here a lot and the food used to be excellent. The place used to be packed!! Went there last night for the first time in about 4 years. The place was empty. There was no atmosphere at all. We had chicken and bacon starters, they were nothing special. Then for main my husband had chicken again, and I ordered the burger!! Well the burger WAS TOTALLY RAW in the middle, and I mean raw!!! Talk about e.coli on a plate!! It looked like they had just browned the outside of the burger but had forgotten all about the middle!!! I complained of course. The price of the burger was removed from the bill, however the staff did not seem concerned about the dangers of serving RAW burgers, I suggested that their chef invest in a meat probe, so that he can check the core temperature of what he cooks in order to avoid poisoning anyone!!! NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL AND WOULD NOT GO BACK THERE!!!
