Obviously like anywhere else, there are good and bad restaurants, but I have a suspicion this conclusion is drawn after eating pies in real "drinking" pubs for a week long vacation. They're designed to soak up alcohol, not be a tasty meal. The quality of that kind of food is awful. About equivalent to dining at a 7-11.

And you'd, to a large degree be correct. My travel was always due to business and I rarely had the chance to eat anywhere but small local places. The "ploughmans platter" became my favorite meal.
