Has you know Maldenman,i always rate pubs higher than most on this site,because i love going in pubs i have never been in before,so if a pub is open it usually gets a 4,one keg bitter on the bar a 5,if real ales are on then the score goes up,but it can come down with really bad service or a bad experience.
LIke in this pub when it was called King William 1V Crown & Stiletto, on a more recent visit the Highfields in Mexborough would in my opinion win the worst pub of 2013 out of all the candidates on that thread.
