Re: Walking Out of a Restaurant or Pub!
I have left restaurants without eating many times because I didn't like the menu or they were not clean/not appealing and even a Hotel in Truro where we were due to stay. I saw the kitchens and that was enough..
I also used to complain if a meal was not up to scratch , I don't usually pay these days so am less vocal
I used to run an Inn in Dorset with my husband, we earned inclusion in the Good Food Guide and I never minded genuine criticism and didn't charge for a meal if a customer wasn't happy with my food .

I've only done that once. We went to a favorite restaurant (seafood) that we hadn't been to in a while; when we were seated and saw the menu we were surprised to see that it had been sold and was now serving Mexican food!! So we left, as none of us cared for that cuisine.

Re: Walking Out of a Restaurant or Pub!
I have walked out of many restaurants and pubs because of the state of the place or Meal/Menu.I once stayed at the Commodre hotel in Helensburgh, which was quite good at the time, cant say what it is like now, and Antony Worrall Thomson came into the dinning area with a friend and immediately started to complain to the waitress.
After a while she was in tears at which point I interfered and I must say that the rest of my stay there was like having my own man-servant.
AWT and friend left.
His complaint was about the table settings which only allowed for 5 courses not 7 as he prefered plus there was no lift and he had to walk up a flight of stairs to his room.
In my opinion he was trying to impress people.
Complain if there is cause or just leave if you are not happy.
That is you prerogative.
