The Dolphin, Betchworth

Tsk. Tsk. Tradervic and randolk7 really have their knickers in a twist over this one. Now girls it's time to move on, and by that I mean you always have a choice. Go and drink at a pub more suited to your temperament and sensibilities.

Oh dear . It looks like there is a bit of a personal issue with one of the posters. Their delicate sensibilities have obviously been offended by one of the Dolphin regulars. Does he/she really want the Dolphin to be the same as the Stars , the Royal Oak or god forbid the Red Lion. Go to these other pubs and leave the Dolphin alone !

Having had the Dolphin as my local for over thirty years the vitriol expressed about the locals and their behaviour really annoys me. Everyone locally knows the public bar early doors is very much a male sanctuary and yes there is some rough talk and banter, none of it malicious. As far as tradesmen being blamed it just shows where that persons prejudicies lie ! When George and Rose ran it if anyone got out of hand he would sort it out, and you didn't mess with George. The present landlady doesn't have that kind of authority and after recent events certainly doesn't have anyones respect. So if you want one of the cloned country gastro-pubs there are plenty around, leave the Dolphin alone. Let it remain the best proper pub in Surrey.
