Cowper Arms, Letty Green

A lovely pub, lovely location, pleasant staff and a good selection of beer but... whatever you do, don't eat here!
The food is overpriced and quite disgusting.
They seemed to have cleaned all the burnt gunk off the cooker all over our starters. We had the mixed platter and it was full of bits of burnt grease and oil floating around. The prawns didn't taste of prawn at all, just burnt oil. The soup was only about two tablespoons.
On to the main and the pork was too dry to eat, the plum sauce for the duck just vaguely pink coloured, flavourless water, the carrots probably a few weeks old and rubbery and the portions not great either.
Even without the burnt mess this was, at best, a �30 meal for three, not the �60 they tried to charge.
