Worst pub you've visited in 2016

[Farway]

Just reading some of the reviews in this thread goes someway to solving why so many pubs close, far easier to blame supermarkets than crap service, beer, bar, food, attitude or all of them [delete as required]

I haven't awarded any 1s this year (nor any 10s, come to that), but here are a handful of 2s:

Queens Head, Worksop
Northern Taps, Huddersfield
The Oddfellows Arms, Caldbeck, Cumbria
The Shepherds Inn, Langwathby, Cumbria
The Green Man, Scamblesby, Lincolnshire

I wrote in my review that the Oddfellows was lucky to get a 2, but this maybe reflects my disappointment after a hard bike ride; and probably the Green Man too should really have been a 1, but I think I felt a bit of sympathy for the pub itself, for being in the hands of such an ogre. The "winner" is the Green Man.

Its not so much the pubs or who run them , its the owners (pub co's) that are the fly in the ointment.

I haven't been far from my comfort zone this year generally sticking to GBG pubs when I'm away and tried and tested at home, however here's a few that could do better,

two next door to each other in Bradford
The Ginger Goose
The Old Bank much better than next door but still room to improve
The Old White Swan not outright bad but definitely the worst service of the year and that's in Yorkshire.

The Duncan although there is quite some competition in Leeds for this coveted title this is the worst I've been in this year, it's only saving grace is probably the fact that it has no cask beer so none of the usual Sam's cold vinegar.
