The Fleur de Lys, Pilley

A fact: the is the worst pub experience I have ever had. My Wife and I went for lunch. We only wanted one simple course each. The barmaid insisted we could only have a full set meal - we weren't even allowed to share a starter between us before a main course. We capitulated and reluctantly odered our meals. We later discovered that others (maybe regulars) had been offered a bar food menu - much the same as our set meals only about half the price. The staff were extremely rude - and scruffy. The chef deserves some credit - the food was OK, but over ambitious perhaps. All the other guests seemed equally dismayed - except one who I overheard saying to his parents that he had discovered this place on beerintheevening. I was horrified - as a regular user of this site I could not imagine any positive feedback to this place. I have since heard that it has had recurring H&S 'issues' in the kitchen but can't confirm. Maybe someone else can post info on this front. In any case, I would steer well clear.
