The British Bulldog Pub

Atmosphere is great, and no complaints about the service or Beer selection. Also interesting is the selection of Ciders. However, we have eaten here twice and each time we were disappointed in the food. I guess there is a reason people make fun of British cuisine. The first visit's cottage pie was just a mixture of ground beef, vegetables and some kind of tasteless sauce with plain mashed potatoes on top. The second time we had the fish and chips. Fried fish and french fries. The coating on the fish was blah and the fish still had some of that slimy black stuff on the bottom. I hate that. No imagination, no creativity, no piquancy at all to the taste. It came with "mushy peas" or baked beans. I chose the baked beans (which actually were not bad) because when I asked the waitress if the Mushy peas were what they sounded like, "Yes, just peas mashed up." If there was anything more than that to the dish, I guess I'll never know.
The other thing that is just baffles me is the signage outside the restaurant. Their sign is blocked by a large palm tree and is completely unreadable from busy Bower Parkway. Frankly even if it wasn't behind that Palm Tree, it would still be hard to make out what was occupying that space because of the way the sign is designed. The main reason why you would want to pay the high rents for a place on a busy thoroughfare is so you can catch the drive by traffic that will see you from the road. what a Waste! It's too bad because a lot of people would be attracted by the unique niche this pub provides and might even like bland plain food.

Just here for a pint (or two or three)...

The wife and I had to give this place a try . We had been out shopping in Harbison on a Saturday morning and decided to stop in for lunch.Im not going into great detail about the service it was slightly below avg. Had a male server who didn't seem like he was all there on that day , spoke to quietly , didn't refill drinks and so on . The meals are basically something you could find anywhere for ohh 5 bucks or so . But we paid 31 dollars for lunch with tip , a bit pricey . my wife got some dish (cant remember the name ) but it was like a seafood bake with cheese and a cream sauce . The only real seafood in was the 4 shrimp we saw. The crab was artificial and the scallops(bay) are the kind that they cookie cutter out of fish . Not very tasty at all . I had the chicken curry spice level3 . It was the size of about a 1/3 of a chicken breast with a 1/2 cup of rice some steamed veggies and 4 tiny triangles of naan bread (i mean tiny). Just not a very good meal and just too high for quality you recv or quanity you get .
