The Prince Of Wales, Westcott

Pub has now re-opened after much-needed refurbishment. Rather limited range of beers, but good food and a warm welcome. Also quite a nice garden area, despite being by main road. A useful place for walkers.

The Cat Inn, West Hoathly

Stopped here for lunch while out walking. Pleasant location opposite church. Refurbished interior with a lot of space given over to formal dining, but a more traditional saloon bar has been kept, and there are a few seats outside at the front, with a larger patio at the rear, so the place still caters for drinkers as well as eaters. Welcoming bar staff. Harvey's bitter in good condition. Food very good - ploughman's had crusty bread, plenty of tasty local cheese and home-made pickles and was carefully presented. Plum and apple crumble delicious. Service efficient and reasonably speedy. As others have said, not cheap, but not extortionate either, and very good value for what you get. Only snag was an abundance of wasps on the patio. Overall, hard to fault.
