Went there last night. Had pate followed by fish and chips. Spent the night puking up.
First Offic had a salad. She says she feels poisoned.

Sorry to hear that... We've eaten there a couple of times and it always seemed good, but I guess even the best kitchen can suffer a rogue contaminant.
As for your current problem - very burnt toast is the solution - but I mean burnt to a cinder! It will work wonders with no side effects - other than setting off all the fire alarms in the house (or boat).

If you are publicly blaming the pub then you should tell them in case there are other complaints and
It needs to reported to the authorities

When I can get out of bed.
It can't be bacterial infection as the chips were good and hot as was the fish. It seems more like something I could not digest but I can't work out what?

The pate?
On the continent, pate is 'winter' food.
Can go off quickly in warm temperatures.

Have eaten there plenty of times, no complaints.

Not surprised - it's a popular place and certainly does not have any systemic problems.

Drop them a quick line with as much detail as possible, if they other cases they may be able to establish the cause, if not, it may be something else and probably wouldn't appreciate any bad publicity, like posting on public media :encouragement:

Unlikely, imo, to have been the pub grub. I eat there a lot (far too often really) and never have a problem with the food

It would be a good idea for the OP to tell them - that way, they will have the opportunity to review their kitchens and make sure that they are not to blame.

I reckon it was the unaccustomed motion of a floating boat wot did it

May not be the food, (or beer!) at all. Stomach bugs can be picked up by handling almost anything: I am very careful to wash my hands after handling mooring ropes, dinghy painters and handrails before eating food. Nevertheless agree, inform the pub in case there is a problem. Apparently rice kept warm, not freshly cooked, is the most usual cause of stomach bugs in pubs, cafes.

Food poisoning usually takes 24-48 hours to rear its ugly head, so unlikely to have been something you ate that night!

I'm surprised by that - it typically does not take much more than 24 hours for food to traverse the digestive tract completely, so I would expect food poisoning to hit pretty quickly or not at all.
