The Moon and Mushroom, Swilland

What a huge disappointment this pub was. We had been recommended to visit due to the guest ales, etc - and some of them were rather good, but they had run out of some, sadly. Aside from this, massive let down. Unfriendly atmosphere/unwelcoming to new visitors, and DO NOT have the ploughmans!! Wow - talk about tiny portions!!! Small triangle of cheese, with a very small piece of bread - and some token strips of lettuce. All for �5 - it must have cost them 50p to put together!! Nice profit margin but doesn't encourage people to return! Even when making a comment, the female waitress just said that is what they always serve! The bar area strongly advertises the Good Pub Guide listing and award win in 2002 - I would ask what has happened since then?? This is no award winner, very disappointing, best avoided. I will rate this a 1/10 purely because of the few good ales I had there, otherwise I would not rate it.
