The Somerhill, Tonbridge

This pub is very local to where I live, so I have popped in twice over the last twelve months. I'm afraid that it really is very poor, with an atmosphere of scarcely supressed aggression. I was witness to a commercial transaction that I felt obliged to report to the local police, who were interested but didn't seem all that surprised. I haven't been back since, but hear that the pub has now closed by the freeholder, allegedly due to 'bookeeping errors'.

Three Horseshoes Inn, Bridport

A lovely location with great views, beer fine.
Ploughman's lunch for 4 (at a steep �10/head) took about 40 minutes to arrive. We were expecting great things.
Nouvelle cuisine style ploughman's arrived. Portions of cheese were minuscule and sweaty. Additional bread basket to supplement initial paltry 4 slices was subsequently charged for. Staff appeared surprised that we weren't entirely satisfied with the meal.
Suggest go in for a beer on the terrace to enjoy the view. Steer clear of a pretentious and disappointing food menu. Oh, and steer clear of the grassed garden - it was littered with dog faeces.
