The Rock, Chiddingstone Hoath

we live in nearby Edenbridge and have been to The Rock several times lately. It has become our favourite pub. Great beer from Larkins - either Traditional or Platinum Blond. It's just a great relaxing little place tucked away in a small village. Very friendly staff. Have yet to eat there but it won't be long before we give it a try. Fantastic!

Royal Oak Inn, Staffhurst Wood

I've been here 4 times now and the beer is always good.
The best thing about this pub though was the cosy 'public' bar on the right as you go in with a large open fire, which had some character.....But oh dear, on our last visit we discovered they've built a new dining extension which has opened up this bar along with some other "improvements". It appears to be turning into some Harverster-type eaterie.

The food yet again was disappointing. My steakburger resembled and tasted like a Birds Eye frozen quarter-pounder and despite the "local" provenance, my wife's steak was average at best.
What really grates though is what they charge for these dishes - �17+ each!

I have no problem paying for quality food but what they serve here does not justify these prices.
It's actually cheaper to each at The Hare & Hounds in Lingfield where the food is far, far better and not frozen.
After two previous disappointments with the food, we definitely won't be eating here again.
