Tattenham Corner, Epsom Downs

As has been said, great location and I�m afraid that�s about it.

Drinks quality was ok, but had to wait in a queue 5 deep at the bar with one person serving on a busy (as they should have anticipated really) sunny Sat afternoon. Plenty of staff on but none of them really doing anything, oh one girl was cleaning the bar but not serving the now 10 strong queue of potential customers.

In the garden tables were covered in empties, on of our group even suggested at the bar that someone actually clear them up, we watched one lonely group of empty glasses sit there for over 2 hours!

Ordered their starter for two, best part of about �8 if memory serves me well, was ok in quality, but only ok, nothing special, and the portion size really wasn't for two.

Oh and to my surprise if you've been up on the downs walking your dogs as prob thousands do every weekend, don't take your dogs to this pub as they're not allowed in, not even in the garden that lends itself perfectly to walkers and dog walkers alike, very strange decision to ban dogs in my opinion.

Would go back to get a second opinion and see if they were just having a bad day, suspect not though.

The Chichester Arms, Mortehoe

Went there whilst on holiday last Mon for my best mates birthday and with 4 adults and 2 children there wasn't a single complaint on the food or drink front. A Good list of specials, some were a little expensive though. The T Bone at �18 was a lot but we found out it was a lot of steak as we bought it as a birthday present for our friend. Doubt we would have ordered it otherwise though, I have to be honest

The Old Court House, Chulmleigh

Made it there on Sat and Sam and Paddy remembered instanly despite not having seen us for two years. We and our two dogs were able to stay in the seperate flat out the back for a very reasonable rate, even sleeps 6! Had a great night catching up with a few people and Paddy cooked us a mean and fairly sizeable full English in the morn, wish we could have stayed for more than one night, but home and work beckoned
