The Lion Hotel, Farningham

Visited the Lion today (Sunday) for a family lunch - nine of us. Couldn't fault it at all. Booked the table by phone and they phoned back last night to confirm our booking. Place was busy being a sunny Sunday but our food arrived in a reasonable time. Waitress (Julie E) was friendly and fun, attentive and very good at her job. Food was all well-cooked and tasty, big portions and piping hot. Based on our experience today we wouldn't hesitate to go back for dinner someday. At under £20 per head (inc drinks, some starters and some desserts) good value for money. Seems to be mixed reviews for this place - maybe it depends on which staff are on duty?

The Cowdray Arms, Balcombe

Last review was nearly a year ago so time for an update. We were recommended this pub for its food so we went for a Saturday afternoon meal recently. Food was superb - five meals all well-cooked, well-presented and tasty. All staff were pleasant and welcoming, even the younger ones. The owner was friendly and couldn't do enough for us (and we had a two-year old with us). Can't comment on the choice of beer as I am a cider drinker! Wouldn't hesitate to go back here.

The Green Man, Hatton

Regarding the previous review, all I can say is that they have acted upon your comments because we popped in here for Saturday lunch yesterday and it was absolutely fine; nicely cooked, tasty and hot (didn't sample dessert though). Nice place - welcoming and friendly staff, warm and comfortable, even the toilets were spotless. Perhaps the piped music was a bit loud. Great place also if you like low planes, when they are landing on runway 27L!! Would definitely come back and eat here.
