Yesterday in a pub in Nelson I ordered a cod ( Railway inn) ....what I ended up with was not cod it was some kind of sea rat fish and they served it with carrots ffs...and raw onion lumps ewww

 

It'll be that sh1te they are passing off as cod....read it somewhere ......
Dirty bast ards

 

Could have been salted cod?

 

Pollocks.

 

False advertising, your paying over the odds for cod and getting cheap **** in return.

 

Pubs are getting worse for it .. only a few good ones left, my favorite being 220 miles from me .. going on 3rd Oct, can't wait

 

Its very hard getting decent food on a regular basis anywhere around here nowadays.2 weeks back I went to a cafe in my village,on the wall he has a 4 star rating from CCBC...it looks photocopied...on the CCBC website it scores a 1,just like his other eating emporium. The sausages were really nasty

 

Cod?????????

Who eats cod?????????

Dirty bottom-feeding fish, you are eating dead sailors.

Stick to haddock.

 

For example,our recently build pub,its struggled with a 1 rating since opening...its recently gone up to a 2...basically theyve stopped kicking the food around the floor? How can a new purpose place be this bad?

the cafes also on the list lol...missing 3 of its advertised stars

 

Pub food round here is 2nd to none. I could name 4 or 5 on the doorstep that I would happily eat at. Maybe is a geographic thing?

 

yea cambridge pub grub is nice, even the weatherspoons is edible

 

My local serves excellent food.

 

Not a fan of pub food here.

Some pubs this end announce their meals as "prepared from fresh". Those pubs are ok to eat in. We actually have a café in our nearby town that even makes its own sauces including ketchup and brown sauce for their Full English. I think that's the way it should be. Most pubs are freezer to fryer, and the thought of it is a bit on a downer, really.

 

Nelson???? I think that's your problem right there

Don't know if you travel as far afield as Rawtenstall/Edenfield, but The Whitchaff is very good and the Fisherman's Retreat in Edenfield is excellent.

Where's 'here'?

 

I was just passing through on my way to a gig...a random stop....and for those places you mentioned...they sound a little far for lunch..wherever it is

 

Don't eat in **** pubs, simples

 

If they serve decent Ales then Usually the food will be good.

 

It's a figure of speech, you numptie!

Here is here, nowhere else.

 

Our local pub does amazing food

The only downside is a familly pub lunch is over £200

(It is very good food and I do have a large family)

 

Was in a pub the other day at the bar ordering my drink and a mumsie with an attitude interrupted and said to the barman, "excuse me, but where are the baby changing facilities"?

Now call me old fashioned but to me pubs used to be an adult environment where you could relax with a drink away from this kiddiesville crap.

Although I have never smoked in my life I would give anything to go back to the days of the old smokey British pub atmosphere.

 

Well they're near Nelson hence why I mentioned them!

 

Passing through Nelson. Where the hell were you going then?

 

I'm surprised it wasn't curried in Nelson.

I'm in Preston Stu, give us a shout when you're next in the North West I may be around

 

Must be a different Nelson...enroute to Pontypridd

 

Yep definitely a different Nelson, Nelson South Wales...Oh wify tried their curry...it remained on the table....Diner curry..tho unsure on the spelling ..just the rank taste

 

Haha was wondering what the **** you'd drive all that way just to go there, the one in Lancashire is quite a horrible place.

 

I've had good and bad,some with a hair in my chips,others have been superb.usually most establishments will have some reviews on the net now a days..

 

Stu if you were going to ponty you should have called in the albion in cilfynydd if in the morning or grills steakhouse in the evening.

 

I hate sticky tables! And the stickyness isn't normally dirt but that pink crap they spray on but NEVER rinse off.
