The Shooting Star, Liverpool Street

Bit like having a pint in your local Tescos (but more expensive).

Quite rubbish for this area of town, and the Fullers ales (despite the amount sold), are pretty poor.

Language barrier as well (which doesn't help when you're ordering a pint).

Rubbish.

Duke Of Wellington, Belgravia

Seems that John Bond (the landlord), has moved to pastures new (Plough in Sheen?).

Great memories of this pub, can't see it being the same without him.

Haven't been back for a couple of years, so I'd love to know what it's like.

And yes - Eustace, no-one cares about your name-dropping/delusions of grandeur. Get a life.

The Kings Bar & Bistro, Amersham

Oh dear - re-opened as part of the Zola Hotel Group.

Best to look at the local Amersham forum for reviews.

Terrible - and they know it.

Revised my old review for the pub (9) to (0).

What have they done?
