The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Warlingham

We visited on a Friday, mostly because the nearby Titsey Place doesn't do lunches in its tea room. The beer was good (happy to find Doom Bar on draft) and it has a good atmosphere (give or take some tacky advertising) but the food really lets the place down. Why, oh why can't pubs get Sunday roast right? We ordered two roasts (turkey and beef) and both came with that thinly sliced processed stuff which felt like it had been heated with the gravy already on it. And between 4 adults and a child we got one small plate of "seasonal veg" or the usual carrots, broccoli and cauliflower to share. The best dish was the child's one where they actually had to cook the sausages, chips and peas freshly. A real let down.
