One can only go on one's own experience. I live in Sheffield and it was on my circuit of pubs to visit for years.

My experience is not as good as yours. I have not complained about the food. Are you denying the landlord CAN be miserable? I am not saying he is all the time, but that he can be some of the time.

You have clearly been lucky - or I have clearly been unlucky.

I have made the greatest criticism and stopped visiting and I hope those who do go have an excellent time.
