Pub, Chilworth

Well Where do I start just do not go there. I took my mother for her birthday there last night. Arrived to find Kitchen staff in the car park having a fag at around 7:00pm. Did not seem overly busy around 3 tables of diners. Nice open fire for my Mum and fiancee who feel the cold so all looking good. Nice bottle of Chablis ordered and presented at the right temperature. Ordered food - Scampi, Prawn Curry and a 10oz Rib Eye cooked without sauce. THEN IT TURNED INTO A DISASTER. The food was dreadful, the chips had been recooked from lunchtime. The Prawn Curry was excellent but the steak arrived in a BBQ sauce.
OK simple mistake so I asked to change it for a steak without sauce. The original steak appeared back after it had been washed under the tap!!! The " Director" then got involved a chap called Alf Hunter. Told me this was normal practice. Offered me another steak but by then my dinner guests had finished so I declined. Both the " Director" and the waitress were then very unfriendly and made he atmosphere dreadfull. They have the people skills of a slug. We left. with no appology offered at any time.
