The Feathers, Merstham

Went back a couple of weeks ago. It is now like something out of 'The League of Gentlemen' - the staff are rather peculiar - and the pub almost empty! Food was OK though and, unusually, didn't take too long.

The Joshua Tree, Redhill

The owner, Kevin, is the most miserable so-and-so you'll ever meet. Feels like he's doing you a favour if you go in there.

Food is OK but not all that great - atmosphere is hostile if you're not in their little clique.

The Feathers, Merstham

I wrote to the management at the Feathers after this incident and at least the Manager bothered to call me back. She was defensive of her staff (unsurprising as she presumably employed them on the first place) - although she did eventually apologise.

As it happens last week I had quite a few (business) visitors to take out for lunch and/or dinner and we managed very well without The Feathers - and, yes Gareth, I did take one of our American visitors to The Garland on Friday night (even better for me as I live South of Redhill).

We have a member of staff who is leaving tomorrow to go on maternity leave - because of this experience she has invited people to the Railway, across the road from the Feathers, so I am sure there will be quite a bit of business coming their way tomorrow ( which would have gone to the Feathers otherwise).

As a point of information, the young man whom they refused to serve is actually 28 next Tuesday - so we are looking forward to celebrating that - but I know where we won't be going to do it!!
