Jubilee Inn, Pelynt

Nice looking pub, decor fine, beer good, staff friendly. Food lousy. 5 of us ate, 4 unhappy with food. Menu description: local caught mussels in garlic and wine with crusty roll and frites. Served after 45 mins: Bowl of small mussels (Same as 2.95 vacupacked sainsburys), no roll, no frites. When challenged, a roll was handed to me (literally) and they didnt know what frites were so I asked why they put it on the menu?. Jubilee curry was a special, but it was no different from a co-op microwave version. There are a few comments suggesting they serve microwave meals and I would agree with this opinion. Shouldnt be charging over 10 quid fir this quality!

The Old Vicarage Hotel, Hinton

a harsh review by champagnestyle, and I think this pub is better for the fact that people like them don't frequent it.

The Ship In Distress, Stanpit

The recession bit, pub was up for sale for a while but they soldiered on. I think it was a valuable lesson. Food prices have come down and quality bar snacks are available all week, not just Monday to Thursday lunchtime only. The friendliness is back (the bloke seems to have gone, maybe he was the reason for the sour moods) Its a nice real pub, if you want cheap booze and shopfitted 'character' go to a McWeatherspoons or a supermarket.
