The Dolphin, Betchworth

We visited this pub this weekend and noticed some rather dire changes from our previous experience in December 2011. The heart and soul has sadly gone out of this place. When we visited more than a year ago the landlady was so kind to us as a rather large family party - she made sure the children were taken care of and went that extra mile. The landlord (also the chef) was equally as kind letting us sample some homemade pâté and going out of his way to customise dishes on the main menu for the kids. We aren't in this area often, but promised we would come back when we did. Last weekend's experience was disappointing to say the least. The staff appeared uninterested and whilst the pricey food was okay, the whole experience was pretty lacklustre. We won't be going back.
