If you like your food served up quick, the Stonebridge Inn in Durham takes some beating. I marvelled at the speed Sunday dinners were delivered in the packed pub.
As an example, on the table adjacent to us, a couple ordered their Sunday lunch, the guy went off to the toilet and just as he returned their food arrived.
"That was quick," said his partner, although whether it was a pleasant surprise wasn't quite obvious by her tone. Maybe she thought it too quick, like it had been prepared on a conveyor belt not in a kitchen.
