I've knocked a star off as I'm sure the pie was microwaved and the burger had a rubbery texture like it was part microwaved. I've knocked another star off as its 2022 and not a guest ale in sight. Other Greene King pubs have guest ales. The Guinness is OK and the house IPA is passable once it's warmed above the freezing cold serving...
