The Dolphin, Betchworth

As new residents to the area I drive past this pub every day. It looked so welcoming. It took me two weeks to get my boyfriend to agree to move from his regular pub, to give this a try, and we were very disappointed. The food was not good. Andy had the fish pie and he said that Admirals pie for a quid tasted better. I must admit it looked very unappetising. Served with carrots and red cabbage, which were already cold when it arrived.
I had the fish and chips with mushy peas. The peas had obviously been burnt and the taste permeated through to the hard peas. The fish and chips were no better. I had to ask for salt and vinegar. The salt was served in a grinder that did not work. All very tacky. Staff trying as best as they could without adequate training and attention to detail. No sign of the owners/managers to welcome us? We won�t be going back.
