The Fox Goes Free, Charlton

Went to this pub today, as we have heard it is very good and the food is great. Loved the pub if you are looking for an comfortable pub this is it. lovely views.

It stops there. I love my food and this is wanting..... I had the goats cheese tartlet.. bad tastes in that. why olives with tomato. this doesnt go.
Chicken liver parfait... with toast I could have made at home. white sliced.

Main courses: lasagne. needs salt & pepper and the pasta I dont think was soaked before layering.

Rump steak... Cream with peppercorns, rocket on the side soaked in to the cream sauce. cooked well. not meduim.

I am sorry to say very tastless.. Cheesecake forgetable. coffee good.

Service not friendly. we waited at the bar to be looked at. It doesnt take time to give someone eye contact and say I will be with you in a minute.

I think there are better pubs around.

The George and Dragon, Burpham

My visit to the George and Dragon in Burpham really deserves a mention!
The setting next door to the church in this lovely village of West Sussex is really stunning and the interior of this Gastro /pub does not disappoint.

I found the welcome to be very friendly and sincere. The staff really care!
The menu was interesting with old favourites and modern twists on traditional recipes.

My lunch was excellent and it was obvious that people come here for the really good food and very civilised atmosphere. The decor is calm and muted with the addition of some great log fires to add a feeling of warmth and well being.

My advice to anyone is -go to Burpham, walk around this pretty village and eat at the George and Dragon. All three are superb!
