The Man wants you to cook a burger all the way through

What the man actually says is that overcooked burgers are for the weak and infirm:

That's why we advise that anyone who is more vulnerable to food poisoning should only ever eat burgers that are thoroughly cooked.

This applies to:

children
the elderly
pregnant women
people with a weakened immune system

Bring on the pink! Looks like I'll be having a venison burger for lunch with a celeriac remoulade and all the trimmings. Nom nom!

Admittedly we do tend to err on the side of caution with the cooking of our burgers in the pub, though our beef is of the finest quality and minced by us on site. I could even take you for a short walk and introduce you to the cows you'll be eating in the near future.

I did take a pint back once. I feared it was going to kill me.

I did this recently, turned out the replacements were 9% abv or suchlike without us noticing which made for a more enlightened evening 🙂

If I buy anything and it either isn't as advertised, faulty, or just plain rubbish, I always return it. That applies to food like any other consumer good. If somebody wants to charge me a premium for eating out rather than cooking at home then it had better be worth it. If they set themselves up as a restaurant then they should be able to serve decent food, cooked and served well. Otherwise why should I pay? I am not totally ruthless and will accept some variance, but if I ordered a 32 spoke wheel and it only turned up with 31 spokes, would that be 'OK', or not? Well, it broadly looks like a wheel, but it isn't what I ordered. Same goes for food.

TBH I don't really eat meals out very often, generally only when on holiday or for special occasions or for interest.
Consequently I tend not to be troubled by sending food back very often - mostly because either my expectations are so low that a sausage-inna-bun is fine, or they're being met or surpassed as its in a very good restaurant.

No sensible barman or landlord would be offended by the return of a dodgy pint. It happens.
