The Falkland Arms, Dorking

What a disappointment. Having read the posts about this being a traditional gem, when we visited we discovered it had been ruined - the front section trying to pretend it's a swish bar, the back now a 'modern' restaurant. Service lacklustre.

You might forgive this if the beer was any good, but it isn't. My pint was very poor, cloudy and stale tasting, and I could only stomach half of it. My companions was also dodgy. Oh and there's a pitbull cross 'attack dog' that barks and growls at you when you come in. Lovely.

The Cricketers is the place to be if visiting Dorking, and that's where we took our money to when we left. Youngs take note.
