Pub, Chilworth

very disappointing evening. wanted to go and enjoy the weather in the garden but regretted it in the end.

couldn't eat food from the 'inside' menu outside which limited us to sandwiches or burgers. were told we couldn't substitute salad for chips, which you used to be able to and 40 mins later warm not hot food arrived. our next lot of food took the same amount of time to order and arrive and starters and mains all arrived together.

returned one meal being told we would receive a complementary new one, which was just as poor as the first.

4 desserts, 3 the same and one different came out one every ten mins for half an hour (including a moldy strawberry) sarcastic reply from staff to a very reasonable question. generally very rude staff apart from the younger ones who were all very friendly towards us.

there are plenty of other pubs in the area with nice gardens where we wont be made to feel as if the staff are doing us a favor by serving us.

Ye Olde Ship Inn, Guildford

What a lovely pub! As a first time visitor recently, during these cold winter months what a joy to hear about cricket from across the bar and from the knowledgable clientele. Both young and old discuss the game in a "Barmy" atmosphere.

Someone should tell the scouts at Hampshire to forget Shane Warne because the head bar man is a ringer for Brett Lee and he seems to be captain of the pub team too.
