Doggetts Coat and Badge, Southwark

Staff were exceptionally rude. Drinks order messed up and forgotten. Food took over an hour to come. Food had to be sent back as was absolutely woefully overcooked, roast beef was like leather, burger had been incinerated, chips were cold, roast spuds were tasteless and soggy. Pepsi was �2.05 for a half pint. Manager had to come over twice, she was rude as well. Ended up not paying for food. Worst pub I have ever been to will never go anywhere near it ever again. Spectacularly awful. Never seen anything like it.

The Rusty Bike, Exeter

Great pub. Good ales and ciders on tap. Quirky decor with a vintage table football table. Lots of board games, Jenga etc. Decent outdoor space with big projector for live sport and regular movie nights, watch out for sitting under kitchen extractor fan and getting splattered by fat. On a friday the food was exceptional, in particular the starter 'Black Pudding, Bacon & Venison Sausage Terrine' which was a take on a full english breakfast, served with a fried quails egg, fried slice of bread and chopped tomatoes with tea jelly, absolutely brilliant.

As a result of htis brilliant friday, a few of us went back on sunday and the food was unrecognisable, clearly chefs night off and for the same prices it was a total farce. two plates had to be sent back, a rare steak was well done and a tuna had been completely ruined. inquired as to where one of the beers came from as id never seen it before and the barman bluntly said 'from the pump'. well thanks very much.

if you go tuesday-saturday its exeptional.

The Lamb Inn, Hindon

Been a few times. Food is always very good. Good beer (Tribute, Bombardier and a couple of Young's) although have had better Tribute. However today had first bad experience there, waited about an hour and a half for our main courses which was totally unaccpetable. We were offered a free round of drinks to make up for this. The waiter appeared spaced out and totally off the ball most of the time which was also poor. The food was great when it turned up, Lamb Shank was very good in particular but the wait was ridiculous and we refused to pay the 10% surcharge.
