Very true as I very rarely go to a pub a now asI find them too expensive and full of wallies drinking stupid drinks or drinking through a straw.not direct from the glass.
That is just my point I think the Duke of Wellington is comparable with the Evening Star and one of the worst. I like large pubs with comfy furniture no dartboard or pool table or juke box and a good food menu.
I think the title should have been your favourite as best is an opinion that others may not agree with as an example many rave about The Evening Star but I personally think it is the pits.
