The Bull Inn, Mockbridge

I do wish I had read these reviews before stopping at the Bull Inn..... We were slightly surprised at having to handed over our debit card the moment our ciders had been served but went ahead feeling that we were just suspicious Londoners on a day out in the countryside.
The menu looked reasonable but we were disappointed by every single dish - lasagne verde with nothing verde about it, dry and cold risotto, a sort of pan pizza with what seemed to be a tomato puree sauce and a pesto pasta which my 7 year old said tasted of nothing.
The sauce on the sticky toffee pudding was full of fatty lumps. To top it all the bill came which showed an adult sorbet when we had specifically ordered a child portion. We queried the charge and were told that it only comes in adult portions although they had willingly accepted our order without telling us. The moody looking manageress stood in the kitchen area giving us rather intimidating glances and we were made to pay full price for their mistake. Avoid at all cost! The waiting staff were friendly and doing the best despite the appalling quality of the food.
