Lol mate you are hardcore, I qualify anyway but was only thinking restriction of HU5 for free entry

I'll ask Dina about the boars head for you but I reckon they'll be taking it with them!

Look fab in my sitting room. Go on, then

Boars Nest was garbage, over priced and totally over-rated, it was "good" in comparison to other places in Hull, but that's a bit like saying The Swan is the best pub in Swanland (it's the ONLY pub in Swanland).

Standee slags off Hull, what a shock.

Not slagging Hull off at all, but the choice of quality places to eat is severely limited.

I don't agree that boars nest was always rubbish. IMO it started off well but went downhill, what the reasons are I don't know.

That is true, however I have to disagree with your comments about Boars Nest. You are entitled to your opinion of course but, come on, it's not "garbage". It was in the Good Food Guide.

Sad thing is, it'll be replaced by some faceless cafe bar serving the same sort of stuff as all the others down there.

but where are you comparing it to, that was the point I was making, for the same money you could go to Pipe andd Glass in Dalton and eat 10 times better, or the Wellington Arms in Lund for a lot less.

The HDM Good Food Guide isn't a measure of success imho.

Complacent/arrogant is maybe the thing yeah. You're right the competition in the local area was slim (it's slightly, although not greatly by any means, improved) and when not being pushed it's easy to fall off your game I guess.

I know what you meant and was only being a bit jovial on this fine sunny morning (but was deadly serious about my brekkie and coffee though, just going now!)

I think you miss a few of the places out tho - true there is the burger and spud places but they're mainly the bars TBH, you also have Laundry, Da Gianni, Marrakesh Ave, Thai House, Tama Ria, Bengal Lounge and Fudge. Whilst I'm not arguing the quality (or lack of) in any of these places, you can't say that it's just a faceless trail of identical places.
