I can't tell if this is serious or satire, especially given the "English language" comparison. It's either a stupendous comment or just stupendously ignorant, and I can't seem to figure out which. Kudos, I guess? :o)

Some British pubs have been amongst literally the best restaurants in the world - as judged by the French, of all people. You know they wouldn't be giving a British pub any kind of award lightly.

Outliers don't define the mean though.

There are a lot of good ones around.

Even the middling pubs seem to make some sort of effort these days.

Since the smoking ban a lot of pubs have had to reinvent themselves and many went “gastro”
