This unassuming British pub has the world's longest waiting list

A humble British pub has been named as the toughest restaurant in the world to get a table at. Beating off stiff competition from some of the world's most renowned eateries, The Bank Tavern in central Bristol currently has an eye-watering waiting list of four years, according to a study by business payment provider Dojo. Coming in second is a fine-dining spot in New York State's Hudson Valley; Damon Baehrel has a backlog of one year. Less surprising is that a New York City restaurant, Masalawala & Sons, comes in third – where diners will have to wait six months before they can get a table.
