The Snowdrop, Lindfield

What can I say... It's an absolute disaster! I used to visit The Snowdrop regularly and always enjoyed the friendly atmospere of the once traditional country pub. Having known about the arrival of new owners through a friend I was doubtful as to whether they would be able to keep such a well kept pub but I thought I'd give them a chance to prove themselves. Oh how I was wrong! The grumpy landlady - who may I say was rather innapropriately dressed - welcomed us with an awkward smile while the the clueless staff ran about trying to please her. The relaxed style of the pub has changed to a strict managed house theme with waiting staff in uniforms fit for a trashy burger joint. Gone with the style and atmospehere of the pub is also the great food. I always looked forward to my Sunday roast with the freshly carved meat, golden potatoes and not to mention the stuffing balls and the delicious real gravy! However all I got was a tasteless, dry selection of meat, burnt potatoes and what tasted like salty Bisto gravy. I'm highly disapointed with the way the new tennants have taken to running this once treasured pub and will definately not be returning.
