    I agree with Quinno and Will on this one. Seven years, seven, of bad reviews.

    For a bizarre pretentious atmosphere, non existent service and extortionate fizz beer I would go with 75 Church Street.

    Didn't like this one much.

    Fortunately most of my 2018 trips were to new or long ago visited places where I used this wonderful resource to target the best pubs in town..

    Consequently I didn't have the misfortune to come across some real dogs dinners in 2018 and Shillingford Bridge Hotel was probably the worst it got for me..

    Doncaster's Angel & Royal gets my vote. It's a truly dreadful place but there were quite a few in and I can only surmise it was because of the cheap prices. It was formerly a JDW Lloyds and a Yates but it can't have been worse then can it?

    Commiserations to you all, but your nominations have zero chance of winning this award in the face of this one: The Old Rock. When I tell you that Alan Winfield's younger brother was unable to finish a half of John Smiths Smooth Crap, you'll get some idea of how dire this pub was.

    The Hind & Hart in Colindale, NW9. Easily the worst of the year, and probably in my Top 5 worst of all-time.

    Three places have scored 2 this year.

    First, we have The Cathedral Hotel - "if I went to hell and was sentenced to pub purgatory, this place could be the blueprint."

    Next up - Travellers Rest - "You’d have to be either a completist or a barrel-scraper to do this one (some may argue I am both)"

    And finally - The Crown Tavern - "It’s not often I feel genuinely unwelcome in a pub, but this place managed it"

    Tough call!!
