The Mad Bishop and Bear, Paddington

Popped in here on Friday night as I had a quick half hour to kill whilst I was waiting for a train to go away for the weekend. The guy selling the evening standard recommended it to me over the other one by platform 10 . First time in here and the best station pub I have ever been into by a country mile. Friendly Service, Clean and decent pint of Tribute. This pub would stand up on its own merit in any town or high street. Worth a visit.

The Bull, Otford

My wife and her mother visited here one lunchtime last week and when I asked here how it was she said it was awful for the following reasons. She ordered what was described as sausage in a baguette with wholegrain mustard and chips with a salad garnish. Her mother ordered Jacket potatoe with Tuna mayoniase. What turned up was a samll sausage cut into three small pieces which didn' t fill half the baguette, a thumnail amount of wholegrain mustard ( blink and you would miss it), the sald garnish was one wilted lettuce leaf and the chips were cold. Her mothers jacket potatoe wss hard and the tuna with mayonaise amounted to about two spoonfulls. She said she mentioned it to the bar staff, who just gave here a vacant look and an attitude as if to say "what do you want us to do about it?". Quite simply she won't be going back and I hope the brewery / managment that owns this pub reads this and sorts out the problems here. In this "recession" you think business's would get it right to attract much needed custom. My wife and I eat out at least three times a week in Sevenoaks area and will not be going back or recommnending this place to anybody.
