Case is altered review
I have just looked on BITE at the reviews there, same poster has copied it there, all other reviews there are glowing, so one must assume a crap night provoked the posting
Regarding bringing own food in to eat, The Market House Tavern in Portsmouth offers to let you phone for a take away to eat there as the pub does not do food, I considered this a "nice touch" and said so in my review at the time
http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/13585/
Perhaps one way, which would need a bit more work for Dave & Conrad, could be to stop negative first time post until say 2 positive ones made, five may be pushing it, maybe they are not regular pub goers, just Christmas & works outing in a charabanc to Brighton for instance
PS, aagin more work, but I note a regular contributor, David Johnston, took the photos, and has submitted reviews of over 40 pubs, maybe ask if he has been in an, or pop in next time & submit review?
Thinking on, if first time poster writes bad review, perhaps hold it and see if regular reviewer locally could have a look as a favour? Getting all a bit "local reppy" now, so may not be worthwhile and more bother than it is worth, any thoughts on it?

Keep in mind this is an example, I am not too worried about it and the solution is not for us to promote people to double check with BITES reviews 
.
Holding over reviews is a possibility, and as I have to rewrite all that code anyway, may well be a sensible one. As to how many we should hold over, if someone thinks one pub is good and one pub is bad (taking your 2 review limit to heart here) then personally I would rather they just posted the 1 good review and forgot the other.
Having another member check the pub isn't really the answer for me, just more work and there is an objectivity issue. Although I am open to the concept of local reps.
Trying to cut to the heart of this for me, as a 1 drop review, does that review contribute anything to the site? And if I deleted it what would be lost from the site?
All good debating points though, I welcome anyones additions thoughts on them.

Well just had to delete another 1 drop review.
Review actually read relatively well although made no redeaming points about the venue, and reviewer had left no other reviews to indicate they were if good character and had anything other than bad opinions.
The landlord just sent us a well worded complaint stating they wanted it removed, and explaining the situation. They remained polite if slightly ranty, but who can blame them as their business is being impugned.
I hate dealing with these as you have no idea who is right really, but it just seems doubly pointless if the reviewer hasn't bothered to say anything good about anything.
