The Harrow, Steep

I visited the Harrow on Easter Monday this year. Having heard great reviews I eagerly awaited a lovely lunch. However, having asked for 2 home made flans with salad, we were told they were sold out. We then asked for 2 cheese ploughmans priced at �5.60 each. When they arrived we were most dissapointed as what was on the plate was a lettuce leaf, some slices of cucumber, 1 soggy tomato, butter cheese and large hunks of bread. No onions (surely the main ingrediant of a ploughmans!) and no dressing for the tiny bit of salad. To add insult to injury, we watched as 2 quiches came out filled with all sorts of salad & beetroot, coleslaw etc. My point is that if the ploughmans were described as "bread and cheese" and was priced accordingly, ie �3.25, we would not have been dissapointed. But to pay �5.60 for what was on our plates was frankly a rip off. I think the reviews may have gone to the landladies heads so they now feel they can go against the Trade Descriptions act and get away with it! Will not be using this pub again!
