Ah yes the Big Ben Burger, people travel miles for those. Probably the Brake Bros/3663 pre-cooked mechanically recovered meat ones with the painted on griddle stripes and enough added salt to mask the taste. 30 seconds at 1kw in the microwave and out on the plate. I'm surprised he didn't say "to die for" like they do on another pub review site. To die of, more likely.

This Space For Hire
The Big Ben Burger has probably traveled far more miles than the customer. A piece in the paper mentioned Ginsters Pasties motored from Cornwall to Bristol ( central distribution point) and back again in the name of efficiency.
Superlatives make me wary when reading reviews.The person using them perhaps believes the publicity handout from their management. Then again it could the usual way of speaking for corporate clowns who frequent the said pub. That would be enough to put me of going to the place. I am glad that we very rarely encounter that sort of person out in the sticks. But then we have our own version I suppose, speaking of which what happened to the Young Conservatives ? The scourge of upmarket hotels and countryside pubs in the 60s and 70s. Smart birds but would not give you the time of day unless you had Daddy's Jaguar in the car park. The blokes were snotty and spoiling for a fight with any young copper.But thats getting off the point
So is my deathly slow broadband this morning, I am in danger of falling to sleep between posts.

Ok, only just catching up on all this, very amusing identikit reviews from Nick there. Fair play to the rebuttal though, at least they have left a review that diverges from Nick's. I hate people who just leave a slanging comment after someone else has reviewed.
Nick's was funnier though.

Nick wrote duplicate reviews for Gloucester and Stanhope, the Stanhope one has prompted a reply.

OK - I've just got round to doing a lengthy (and well overdue) review of the Tan Hill Tavern and sneaked 3 fruit into it.

It's the Snow-Cat. It drives down into the village to pick up customers when the snow makes the roads impassable. There are some pictures of it in action on the pub's blog (you will need to scroll about half way down) http://www.tanhillinn.com/tracys-tan...in-britain/13/
