The Hartley Arms, Wheaton Aston

Entirely agree with the comments about the landlord. He was most put out when I insisted on having my pint from the handpump rather than the electric quick dispense one. Told me that it came out of the same barrel anyway so why was I bothered. We are vegetarian, which he also seemed to take as a personal insult if the very limited veggy choice is anything to go by. In all fairness though it must be said that he is far from being the only one guilty in this particular regard, many other pubs are just as culpable. The food, whenit did eventually turn up, was spectacular in its ordinariness, poorly cooked and showing all the signs of having been nuked in the microwave. In short avoid this pub at all costs, unless it is one minute to closing and you are desperate.
