I don't want to hear about good pubs, there are thousands.
Let's hear about your really shit pubs and more specifically on a biking slant
My starter for 10. The Grouse and Claret at Rowsley.
I've been going there for years - occasionally with the Mrs if we want some bang average pub grub (Wheatsheaf at Baslow is a mirror image Marstons pub, but manages it slightly better).
Anyway, most of the time I go there it's towards the end of a ride - summery day, nice garden at the back, it's decent.
Went in today, got unceremoniously hoofed out of the garden - we don't allow bikes in here, they are a trip hazard. To compound matters, they have ditched the tables out front for some shit San Miguel deckchairs that no one will use. Spoke to a few other mtb'ers that were sat round the side of the pub on the two available tables overlooking the car park who had also been denied access to the beer garden.
The blue rinse brigade are their target audience, but a bit crap that given the location they don't now accommodate cyclists.
Name and shame
