Yes, shame the football has gone. I was there quite often on account of that. Well, I suppose the demograph who don't enjoy football will like it more. Will be interesting to see if this and the other changes make the pub last.

deros? You must be Australian.

Obviously your opinion on this matter. Damned good? Some people love a moan about sod all? Perhaps the second of these is true, but not in this thread.

Hahahaha - like I said (I think my post got removed) I give a little bit of leniancy to the burgers (although they ARE overrated and overpriced). I have a bigger issue with the other stalls there.

You're not going into a pub, it's street food, it just so happens to be parked at the rye. You can't have the benefits of it being a burger van (which in all honesty serves AVERAGE food) and charge what you might pay in a bar. I hope they get realistic, or I hope that all of the companies which have pitched up there (and who I see chancing their arm at other events around town) go under like the charlatans that they are. Actually, I do aim that less so at the burger guys than the other ones. That vegetarian indian one was laughable. But the majority of my bile is reserved for the Mexican and Hog Roast people. Total, over-priced rubbish.

They live the food to keep warm in a pot, and they are so concerned with containing the cost of each roll that they don't give the customer what they want. Which is a decent sandwich. It is a recipe for disaster, and it is a shame because I would strongly support small operations that try to make a go of things, but these guys have it all wrong.

You have a spoonful of filling in them and it is stewed meat or beans. Come on...

You are eating it off of paper plates and they are miniscule.

The Hog Roasts are a joke. Overly greasy, ludicrously priced, limp, laughable. Same goes for the Mexican I tried there; and the vegetarian indian food, at ?5 a box, was a joke. The pub is fine, the JOKERS who set up shop outside it are not. I don't know how you can hand over what they do and feel happy to take people's money for it. The owners of the pub should have a word. Price sensibly and improve your product. I have no idea who came up with notion of British street food, but I am positive they did not envisage it being exploited by rip-off merchants.
