The Valiant Trooper, Aldbury

The beer here is always well kept but the food is truly awful. The last occasion of my visit two weekends ago was with a group and no one within the group enjoyed their meals. Mine was cold king prawns with chilli on sliced bread followed by a main of tasteless faggots with a strange skin sitting in a gravy with a peculiar taste well short of the standard expected from Bisto gravy granules. If the owners could get someone in that can cook it would really rejuvenate this pub. It has so much going for it otherwise.
